There are Catholics like Joe Biden who claim to follow what is too often called the "spirit" of Vatican II while rejecting the very foundations that important Council proclaimed. Then, there are others, like Paul Ryan, who grasp the implications of what it means to infuse the values informed by their Catholic faith into their political participation on fundamental moral issues such as the Right to life

My brain got joged on hearing a comment that both candidates are Catholic. It seems to be hard to remember that Biden is Catholic, and this quote says it all.

Vice President Biden, like many Catholic politicians of his generation, succumbed to the pressure of the secularist culture, switching positions on foundational issues and compromising the very teaching of His Church.

Biden and the rest of the “catholic” politicians who openly support the intrinsic evil of abortion and the moral depravity of sodomite “marriage” are no longer part of the Catholic Church and need to be publicly excommunicated from the Church. Only then will they stop embarrassing real practicing Catholics. As long as the bishops stay quiet about these hypocrites nothing will ever change.

"There are Catholics like Joe Bide...."

Joe Biden is NOT Catholic. He may call himself that, but he excommunicated himself years ago.

Biden...just one of tens of thousands of Unitarian/Universalists in this country masquerading as Catholics.
