Biden Gets Pope's Blessing [semi-satire]

This week, devout Catholic Joe Biden spoke with Pope Francis and says "I received both his blessing and congratulations on my landslide victory in the election." Biden described the Pope as "a cool guy. He totally understands the difference between matters of faith and matters of politics."

"For instance, we both know that government promotion of abortion and suppression of religious activities is wrong from the perspective of the Catholic faith. But we both understand that in a democracy the majority's will prevails. Though I personally shed a tear for each child killed by abortion, as a leader of a democracy it is my obligation to ensure that every woman who doesn't want her unborn child should have a legal right to terminate that child's life. And if she can't afford to pay for it, as president I have the duty to ensure that public funds will cover the cost. Likewise, if my medical experts tell me we have to shut down churches to fight the coronavirus it is my obligation to use the powers vested in me as president to shut them down."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif), also a devout Catholic, contrasted "Joe Biden's nuanced grasp of the divergent spheres of moral beliefs and political necessity" with Trump's "bull-headed attempt to merge the two. Just a few days ago his emissaries told the United Nations that abortion is not a human right, that all lives born and unborn should be protected. I suppose he thinks he is a champion for the children who are sacrificed at the request of their mothers. But as we have seen, Joe has spoken directly with the Pope and gotten his blessing for the efforts he has undertaken to ensure that these requests can be fulfilled without interference or shame."

Not really satire, sadly.

The Pope’s blessing is in reality a curse, an anathema to God.

Biden should be canonized and raised to sainthood as he has he ability to raise thousands of people from the dead. I bet the Pope, bless his heart for being a died in the wool socialist probably would go for it.

He did get the Poop’s blessing. No need for satire on the matter.

It is FAKED NEWS!

The Holy See Press Office could not confirm the contents of the call nor who called whom.

*******************************************

A telephone call between Pope Francis and U.S. President-elect, Joe Biden, took place yesterday, Nov. 12, 2020, the Vatican confirmed to ZENIT English.

The Holy See Press Office could not confirm the contents of the call nor who called whom.

The U.S. election results have sparked tension in the United States as the Trump Administration is formally disputing the winner, alleging that vote counting in key states was not done legally.

The US Bishops have sent best wishes to Joe Biden in a statement.

I wish we still had a real Pope, not the POS who writes for Biden blogs.
