Surprisingly, President Trump ‘is sounding like a bishop’ should when he speaks about unborn children: 'He’s basically quoting the Catholic Catechism,' Bishop Joseph Strickland said

Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas offered high praise for President Donald J. Trump this week on The Bishop Strickland Show, which is being streamed live every Tuesday night on LifeSite’s YouTube channel here at 9:00 pm EST. Strickland is one of the most outspoken bishops on pro-life issues in the entire country.

During his conversation with co-host Terry Barber, His Excellency said that we should “put politics aside” and simply recognize that the sitting President of the United States is speaking about unborn children in a way that makes him sound like he’s a Catholic bishop.

“He’s basically quoting the Catholic Catechism,” Strickland remarked. “He is sounding like a Bishop or any faithful Catholic.”

Strickland and Barber had just watched a clip of Trump’s address to this year’s virtual Al Smith dinner, the annual fundraising event usually hosted in New York City that Democratic and Republican presidential candidates normally address in person.

Barber agreed wholeheartedly with Bishop Strickland, saying, “I appreciate President Trump speaking like this…I was shocked when I heard this.”

Strickland and Barber also touched on the sexual revolution launched in the 1960s and the Netflix movie Cuties. Both agreed that the film was pornographic and that anyone who has a subscription to Netflix should cancel it immediately.

“He’s basically quoting the Catholic Catechism,” Strickland remarked.

No wonder Pope Francis hates him. Nobody is more offended by the Catholic Catechism than "Pope" Francis.

One of the myriad reasons I'm voting for Trump rather than for that Catholic in name only, Biden.

Yes, because love for the unborn is the sole province of the Catholic Church.

Trump talks against abortion more than the fool who sits on the Chair of Peter.

Babies = God’s Creation. Murdering them is to ask for Judgment. Families have been negligent by not teaching their own . . . Sunday School never an option for most. It is sad what we have become as a nation.

Why not? These ideas about the sanctity of human life are not original with Catholic catechism. Nor peculiar to Catholic interpretation of scripture.

These are universal truths written in a lot of places, including (according to the apostle Paul) the human heart. As well as both Testaments of course.

That's funny.

Trump sounds like a bishop, the pope sounds like Castro.

Because so many Bishops aren’t speaking out.

Cowardice or complicity, at this point.

More so I expect is that he’s simply stating the obvious, rather than doing the bizarre mental backflips of the opposition.
