“Now everywhere Biden campaigns, we'll have this question of whether a pro-abortion Catholic can receive communion," he told LifeNews.com.

This reality hadn't even occurred to me.

You didn’t get Joe Biden’s text this morning at 3:12AM saying he’s now Methodist?

Obama is demonstrating why he is completely unfit to be POTUS.

Picking Biden was a shockingly bad decision.

Baby killing Catholic politicians like Biden and Pelosi are the scourge of the nation, this will be a huge issue in the campaign.

There must be a strong pro-life Catholic on McCain’s short list. Anyone know which Catholic has the best shot of those floated? Giuliani?

It was already easy to oppose CINO Plagiarist Biden.

Maybe Biden and Obama can do some church shopping together - they are both without a home, let’s see, Rev Wright is out, Farrakhan, probably not, Moonies - Nah, maybe the Whackos from Waco....No..something Californian, feel good, non judgmental sought of like buddhism but allowing you to eat meat and arugula and smoke crack on weekends, and infanticide is okay if you are not in the mood for raising a kid.

The truth of the matter is that Biden’s selection will not change how Catholics vote anymore than nObama’s nomination did. No Catholic, nay, no Christian should vote for pro-abort politicians regardless of party. But many will.

The RC clergy needs to read and understand this about Democrats:

How does the formerly Catholic, pro-abortion apostate Joseph McClintock Biden make it easier for me to vote for the pro-infanticide Barack Hussein Peter Singer Obama? I must have missed the subtleness of the argument that Biden is the lesser of the two evils? But way back in third grade catechism class I learned that the lesser of two evils is still EVIL.

I don't know if there are any pro-life Catholic politicians. That is one reason I wouldn't have gone with Giuliani.

Now Sibelius' bishop took a firmer stand with her. I don't know who Biden's bishop is, McCormick?

Anyway, they'll just campaign in some other church when they are in the St. Louis diocese or avoid it altogether like Kerry did.

I wish the bishops would present a firm, united front. Unless they actually instruct eucharistic ministers to refuse them communion, it's all just rhetoric. The Catholic pols are going to ignore it as usual and get away with it as usual.

According to America's Founders, life, and the liberty to enjoy it, are unalienable. The word, "unalienable," implies the great truth of Thomas Jefferson's summation that, "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."

What many citizens today fail to reason through is that the so-called "right to choose," is an invented euphemism of recent decades designed to mask the ugly act of "destroying" the life and liberty of the child in the womb. By that euphemism, an artificial right was bestowed by unelected justices of the Supreme Court of the United States on only one class of citizens (women) to destroy the Creator-endowed, therefore "unalienable" life and liberty of an as-yet-unborn citizen.

This question is the most important one to be considered in the 2008 election of a President.

Consider the logic utilized by those who say they personally oppose taking the life of the child in the womb, but believes in the trite and tired old phrase of "a woman's right to choose."

Why could a 75-year-old daughter not use the same reasoning to apply to a "right to choose" to get rid of an elderly mother whose care is threatening her own health? (And don't say it is not realistic to claim the health risk that many face!)

Or, why should the nation's law not provide that same "right to choose" to both men and women who consider another individual to be a threat to their personal health or wellbeing, an inconvenience to their lifestyle, or merely a burden they cannot take care of?

Clearly, America's laws against the taking of life do not allow for a citizen's "right to choose" murder as an optional way of solving a personal dilemma, no matter how perplexing or burdensome.

Unmask the faulty logic of the fence sitters, and let them articulate what is their real reason for favoring the taking of a life in the womb! Is it not possibly because they do not see children in the womb as beings "endowed by their Creator with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"?

Whichever candidate who's most likely to appoint Supreme Court justices who understand this basic principle underlying our liberty and the American Constitution is the only logical choice to lead this nation, in this voter's humble opinion!

Great for Bishop Satarelli!

Supporting the killing of innocent human life obviously excommunicates one from the church. Such a depraved moral state would automatically render one unworthy to receive communion.

Biden, as a Catholic (he claims to be), is strictly forbidden under the penalty of grave sin and excommunication, from supporting abortion, infanticide, of stem-cell embryo research.

Under the same rules he cannot support Obama in a political effort to promote such evils and continue to receive Holy Communion at Mass. These are the official rules and law in the Catholic Church. For Biden to suggest otherwise is blasphemous and a lie. It not falls to the bishops of Wilmington and Washington, D.C. to clarify this since Biden is now the partner of a candidate who promotes infanticide, the most extreme pro-abortion and pro-infanticide position in American history and the Western world.

"Burch concluded: “The American bishops have instructed Catholic voters to consider many issues, but have characterized the defense of human life as ‘foundational’ and have explained that the issue has a special claim on the conscience of the Catholic voter."

It's elementary. Without life, you have no voters!

So their "so called" Catholic VP pick will be in Denver, and the Archbishop of Denver is going to be conspicuously absent since he was not invited to attend any of the functions at the convention.

Ahh well, the Archbishop did state last night on World Over Live, that he will be in a March for Life along with Dr King's niece, during the convention.

Shame on Biden he should be standing next to them.

Since Obama favors killing any poor souyl who happens to survive an abortion, what do Catholics require to oppose him? Rather, what can Obama offer to make Catholics vote for him...even among VP candidates?

It’s time that Biden’s Bishop challenges him to repudiate abortion or decalre himself excommunicated.
