Double Standard: Joe Biden’s Catholic Faith ‘Informs His Values,’ Amy Coney Barrett’s Is a Threat
Breitbart ^ | 30 Sep 2020 | Penny Starr

Democrats, the media, and leftwing activists generally faun over former Vice President Joe Biden for his Catholic faith while claiming Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s Catholicism is a threat that must not infiltrate the institution.

This narrative continues even as people across the political spectrum have praised Barrett’s superior qualifications for joining the bench.

Tax-payer funded and anti-Trump National Public Radio (NPR) provides one example of the double standard about the right and the wrong kind of Catholic.

On September 20, NPR reported on Biden’s faith in an article titled, “How Joe Biden’s Faith Shapes His Politics”:

When Joe Biden seeks to inspire or comfort, he turns to his faith. He speeches are woven with references to God, biblical language, or the pope.

Biden, who carries a rosary in his pocket and attends Mass every Sunday, is known as a deeply devout person of faith, and his campaign sees electoral implications in that — in part because Biden has tried to frame this election as a clear moral contrast between Trump and himself.

Some Democrats would go so far as to say that Biden is running perhaps the most overtly devout Democratic presidential campaign since Jimmy Carter in 1976.

NPR did not report on the controversy Joe Biden’s pro-abortion stance has played in practicing his faith, including during the presidential primary when he was denied communion at a Catholic church in South Carolina.

Remember when the mighty Mitt Romney went into solemn contemplation and prayer, resulting in “troubling” things causing him to torpedo President Trump by voting for impeachment as the one and only GOP moron to do so?

Maybe Biden will say his faith requires him to make sure more dead babies are added to the tens of millions since Roe v. Wade and oppose any Trump nominee who is a genuine Catholic. Like Pelosi who clears the safe passage ahead for any pro abortion legislation despite being a Catholic.

The babies can’t give their opinions as they are already dead.

He can get away with it because everyone in the MSM knows he is lying and it is for public show only.

Exactly. We know Biden is lying and Amy is not. And why is that. Well Joe always lies.

Evil has overtaken the democratic party, and that’s been for a long while now.

Evil has also overtaken the Catholic church, and that’s very evident by who the pope is.

Just not the Catholic faith. Satanism?

It’s like adopting black children. Cool when Madonna and Angelina do it. Terrible when a conservative does it.
