Biden follows Pelosi in mangling Catholic doctrine on abortion

Joe Biden supposedly will attract Catholics to the Democratic ticket, but not if he follows Pope Nancy Pelosi for doctrinal guidance. In a profile of Biden for the Christian Science Monitor, Biden credits his Catholicism for his focus on “abuse of power”, but shrugs off the abortion debate as a minor controversy. He even goes on to tell Gail Russell Chaddock that his views on social issues fall completely within Catholic doctrine

Let’s apply the “Obama Standard” here, shall we??

Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden weren’t even born yet when the Catholic Church came up with all of those silly old definitions about life...

It must be a religion of convenience. Or is it the presence of the Messiah.

The Church simply must draw a line in the sand and make an example of Pelosi, Biden, Kennedy, and all other vocal “Catholic” politicians who commit the heresy of publicly stating abortion is an acceptable moral choice. To fail to excommunicate these leaders will send the wrong message to those cafeteria Catholics who believe you can pick and choose which Church beliefs they can agree with.

I know dozens of my fellow Catholics that Biden won’t be drawing to vote D in November. How any Catholic who is the least bit serious about their faith can vote for an infanticide candidate is beyond me.

“...but shrugs off the abortion debate as a minor controversy..”

I think it would be good if the bishops excommunicated Pelosi and Biden, exclude them from the sacraments and offer them eternity in hell as a reward for their abortion views.

Of course, neither Pelosi nor Biden are Catholics and their arrogance won’t be diminished until the hour of their death.

The arrogance of politicians is something that never fails to surface

“Keep talking, keep talking Joe (as if you could help it).”
Yea, like Biden’s story about how his first wife was killed by a drunk driver, truth was she pulled out in front of a semi, totally her fault, no alcohol involved on the truckers part...
Pathetic liar and a numb skull for president. Osama bin Biden

Good piece. If we had REAL journalism in the MSM, this is how they’d cover these who use claims of being Catholic, and sharing those values, to appeal to voters when they fall far afoul of Church teaching and blatantly misrepresent it as well.

Why doesn’t the Catholic church excommunicate these people?
