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.

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.

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.’

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.

I'd have a hard time arguing with that.

Agreed. The RC church (and it’s not the only one, I’m afraid) tends to be lax on church discipline, especially if one is rich and/or famous.

If someone believes a fetus is just a bunch of cells, then I can understand their view that abortion is OK. I don’t agree, but at least it’s an argument that hos some validity for that person. However, the only reason to be pro-life is if one believes that the fetus is a human being, so to say one believes abortion is wrong personally but will not oppose it in public life is saying, “Yes, it’s murder, but I think it ought to be up to the individual.” To me, that is ghoulish.

I asked his on another thread, but nobody seemed to know the answer:

DOES Biden go to Mass? DOES he receive Communion?

Years ago, he was warned by Bishop Chaput (when he was in Denver) and by Bishop Martino (when he was in Scranton) not to presume to receive Communion. So is he a member of any parish now? Where? Delaware? DC? So who's his bishop now? And does he receive Communion?

Anybody know?
