Does Biden have a Catholic Problem?

No. He doesn't let Catholic get in the way of his pro-abortion, pro-socialist, anti-American viewpoints.

So therefore, Catholic is no problem for Biden.

I would say just the opposite.

Biden has a Catholic problem in BELIEVING and ACTING on Catholic teachings. Click the 'teachings' link in this spot.

Notes:

  • Previous #23 has been removed. Bishop Joseph Gossman of Raleigh, NC is actually the bishop emeritus, and the new bishop, Michael Burbidge has not, to my knowledge, made a personal statement.
  • Previous #16 has also been removed, it was an erroneous duplication of current #13.
  • #26 was added September 10th, although he published his column September 6th

“”Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles.”

As in ‘bearing false witness’.....

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2069846/posts

Sen. Joseph Biden - Bearing false witness...

In 1972 Sen. Joseph Biden, the Democrat nominee for vice President, lost his wife and young daughter in a car accident. Losing your family in a auto accident is a gut wrenching tragedy, to be sure. No one underestimates that and no ever blamed Mrs. Biden for the accident.

Right up there with despicable things one human can do to another, is falsely accusing the innocent of a crime. “Bearing false witness” is even in the 10 commandments, but Mr. Biden’s feigned Catholicism doesn’t let that stop him.

Last night CBS Inside Addition reports, “In a striking moment in December 2007, he opened his heart to University of Iowa students. “Let me tell you a little story. My wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree, a tractor trailer, a guy who allegedly, and I never pursued it, drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family, killed my wife instantly, killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons.”

Out on the stump recently and for years, Biden has repeated this charge. Lately, he has tried to soften it with the thought that he doesn’t know if the semi truck driver was drunk...., “ I never pursued it”. He didn’t follow the case about the death of his wife and child? Give me a break.

The court certainly did. The driver was never charged and was cleared of any wrong doing. Mrs. Biden, driving a station wagon full of kids and a Christmas tree pulled into the truck’s path. The driver, also a victim, had not been drinking and for the years before his death his reputation suffered with the false charge that Biden put out in the public for sympathy and political gain.

He will use his dead family and an innocent fellow American for his own personal profit. Don’t be surprised when he uses the rest of us.

I was shocked to see how measly Biden’s charitable deductions are over a 10 year period, $6300 give or take some change.

$630 a year?

It’s looks as though Biden does not put money in the collection each week, nor does he tithe. Does he go to Mass on Sunday or is he a CINO and uses Mass as a photo op along with a “membership” in a parish?

If he using his Catholicity as a polling point, I think we are entitled to know.

The writer paints the bishops extremists simply because they want Catholics to actually abide by their faith. She calls them extreme, yet doesn't acknowledge how out of step Biden is with traditional church teachings.

Yup, all the blame points to those damned extreme bishops.

Does Biden have a Catholic Problem?

make that: “Should Biden have a Catholic Problem? “

And the answer would be “Yes.”

Then again: that problem should tie down Kennedy, Biden, Kerry, Miskowski, ..... But their bishops ignore teh issue.

The Bishops are only doing their job looking after Biden’s spiritual welfare by admonishing him. They don’t want to be held accountable for his blood—and the blood of those he misled—on Judgment Day.
