He’d better be practicing, because he damn sure hasn’t gotten it right.

[DuncanWaring]

Biden a practicing Catholic?

He certainly needs the practice; he’s not very good at it.

I blame the Catholic Church.

They ALLOW liberals to call themselves “Catholic” without following a word of their teachings.

But the Catholic Church does nothing. They do not excommunicate them. They allow them to attend mass and take part in the sacraments. They allow them to be married in their church. They allow their children’s baptisms in their church. They allow their funerals in their church.

Too bad the church does not have a backbone. Maybe more people would take them seriously.

Yes, both he and Pelosi seem to have learned from each other instead of the church.

As outspoken as some pro abortion politicians are it surprises me the Catholic church doesn't take action but not being Catholic I don't understand the workings of the church.

With all the self professed “practicing Catholics” like Biden, Pelosi, Sabelius, etc, etc. why do we have an administration, a Congress, with such anti-Catholic policies? In my world, a “practicing Catholic” still talks about being Catholic. A Catholic who “lives” a Catholic life doesn’t have to practice anymore.

... but not being Catholic I don't understand the workings of the church.

Many of us who are Catholic don't understand the workings of the Church, either.

I disagree with the contention the Church should take the blame for Biden’s apostasy, as well as the assertion that the Church ‘has no backbone.’

BTW, over one billion people ‘take them seriously.’

[rawcatslyentist]

Those who can, do.

Those who can't, practice.

The Catholic Church sold their soul to the Devil and are now paying the price. The reason for this is that they believe all the “Social Justice” drivel from the Democratic Party. . . that the Repub’s don’t care for the poor and down trodden.

[Slings and Arrows]

BTDT, my FRiend.

Adolf Hitler - “I don’t happen to believe that killing Jews is a bad thing but I wouldn’t want to impose that belief on others.” If Biden believes that “life” begins at conception, what does he call the ending that life? As a society we do impose our beliefs on others all the time. And yes, we do legislate morality, contrary to what liberals say; in fact, we legislate little else.

Biden is a cafeteria Catholic. A Catholic by birth only.

[isom35]

might he be a CINO?

[NotTallTex]

If Old Joe was sincere about helping the poor, he would have been giving more than an average $369 a year to charity. Talk is cheap. Joe is a wealthy man, and yet he gives less than my wife and I do. Shameful!

[layman]

taking care of those who-who can't take care of themselves, people who need help

Yep .... the smiling ass clown believes in helping the helpless as long as he's doing it with other people's money. He personal charitable contributions are embarrassingly paltry.

I'm a Protestant, so my comments may be uninformed.
Mr Biden may be (as he claims) a practicing Catholic, but is he a professing Catholic?
I know that within the Protestant church I attend, we have many people who attend church regularly and are in a sense practicing members; but their professions of faith in no way measures to what can be called orthodox church doctrine.
They interpret (really, pervert) the doctrines of the faith to suit their own predilections and desires. Yet rather than leave the church and find one whose doctrines are more compatible, they remain and cause no end to harm.
Perhaps the Catholic church has such members. If so, Mr Biden would seem to be one of them.
