The Deep Church Helps Biden

The Deep Church Helps Biden

National Catholic Reporter does a puff piece on the most pro-abortion candidate ever.

Were Joe Biden given a Catholic rating, it would be zero. He not only stands against central moral teachings of the Church but has also promised to violate her religious freedom. Should he win, he would resume the persecution of the Little Sisters of the Poor and other Catholic groups. Despite all of this, Biden seeks the Catholic vote, and is receiving help from bad Catholics burrowed within the Church. What Archbishop Carlo Viganò has called the “deep Church” is working hard for Biden’s election.

Exhibit A of this perverse phenomenon is the National Catholic Reporter’s recent puff piece on Biden — “How Joe Biden’s Catholic roots have shaped his public life.”

We’re even told in the piece that Biden, who would be the second Catholic president in American history, represents an improvement over John F. Kennedy.

The truth is the exact opposite: he has spent his career rejecting his Catholic roots and selling his soul to Planned Parenthood.

Nothing can help Biden. He’s going down to Chinatown.

The left began infiltrating Catholic institutions in the 1960s, and the takeover is now almost complete. Traditional Catholics find themselves a beleaguered minority in their own parishes. Here in the Seattle area, it’s more important for a Catholic to vote Democrat than to accept the teachings of the church.

In the United Methodist Church, the backbone of the traditionalist faction lies in the African and Asian conferences. If so many American Catholics have punked out, where is the geographic base of the traditionalists?

Marxists thrive in our church. It’s disgusting, of course.

It’s been a complete rout for our side.

Look at all the institutions that used to be the conservative backbone that have been completely taken over... Religion, sports, the military, the corporations.

I can’t think of a single institution the left doesn’t own.

There is the world's "church." Then, there is the Biblical teaching:
"Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:" - 1 Cor: 1:2

We do not confuse the National Catholic Reporter with faithful Catholicism.

Same for Joe.

I’d call it the ‘swamp church’.
