Not ashes! It’s just mold!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

When the hell are these idiots on TV going to learn to curb their tongues and keep their mouths shut? Sheesh.

[Marty62]

Ok...when I posted this..many ridiculed my outrage.

It will be interesting how many will think it is a problem now.

[dalereed]

Should have just told him to go wash his face!

[grellis]

Must be something about Catholicism that bothers this guy.

It's Biden pretending he's a Catholic that bugs the heck out of me.

[jakerobins]

C’mon their are much BETTER reasons to make fun of ol Joe “plugs” Biden....

[maggief]

“My views are totally consistent with Catholic social doctrine.

“There are elements within the church who say that if you are at odds with any of the teachings of the church, you are at odds with the church. I think the church is bigger than that.”

(Biden on his stance on abortion and the Catholic Church)

[Neets]

Many here were mocking him also.

Whether we like him or not he is entitled to wear his ashes in public.

Shameful talk.

[InvisibleChurch]

If he denounces abortion, then let him wear ashes every day.

[Churchillspirit]

White heterosexual males; stay-at-home mothers and Christians, all fair game for the libs.

[missnry]

Bob Beckel’s admonishing remark, “I’m not sure I would wear that ash on the air,”

I think what Bob is trying to say is: "Come on Joe, it's not like you are fooling anyone into thinking that you are acutally a Catholic!"

[EyeGuy]

“....lecturing a Jew about wearing a yarmulke on TV or a Muslim wearing a turban. Must be something about Catholicism that bothers this guy.”

####

It's not just Beckel.

Among the secular Left it is, and has been for a long time, open season on Christianity, especially conservative Roman Catholicism.

[Joe 6-pack]

I'm Catholic, and while I obviously do not know what's truly in Biden's heart his past words and deeds lead me to one of two conclusions:

1. He was wearing them as a show of false piety.

or

2. He forgot to wash them off before going on TV.

[FormerACLUmember]

An apology is owed Biden. Period.

[Rumplemeyer]

Beckel is a schmuck, Hey Bob why are you so upset by actions of piety?

[OpusatFR]

Even a non-Catholic can be marked with ashes at a Catholic Ash Wednesday liturgy, just not recieve the Eucharist.

*Biden’s a pseudo-Catholic so the ashes are perfectly acceptable.

[MrsEmmaPeel]

And these people think they are the tolerant ones.

[SE Mom]

I don’t care if Plugs was doing it for show or is sincere.

Beckel should be ashamed of himself.

[mancini]

C’mon now, Blowhard Bob, don’t make me have to defend Ol’ Joe for having ashes on his forehead!

[Truth is a Weapon]

I would proudly defend Biden’s right to wear ashes on his forehead if he would proudly defend the lives of children in the womb. How can someone disavow a fairly fundamental belief of the church he is identifying with?
