He had better keep practicing

You beat me to it!

[grand wazoo]

Big deal, he dropped an F-bomb.

Is everyone a prude?

Well, this is the Religion forum. :)

[RGirard]

good points!

No offense, but what is up with all these Catholics in Congress? Pelosi, Stupak, Sanchez, Dingel, Oberstar, Rangel,Kucinich, Perriello? All of them voted in favor of abortion. What gives?

They give themselves a little escape hatch: “the well-formed concience is the ultimate arbiter”. (They then fail to actually develop a well-formed conscience.)
Also, there is the “personally opposed but” my own beliefs shouldn’t color things when my constituents’ views are something else.
Also, there is the fact that you will never rise in the Democratic Party in places like California if you don’t say you are pro-choice. So, it’s cave in or never arise above city council member.
Also, there is the “big-picture”— I’m saving more lives by being against war, poverty, sexism. I can make abortion “rare” and save lives by providing government assistance where needed.

I think that’s “what gives”.

Biden is not a REAL Catholic. Otherwise he would not be a dimocrat.

He is only a CINO — Catholic in Name Only.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Shame on you, Joe, for dropping the f-bomb during Lent.
