Biden and Cardinal Wilton Gregory share a mandate for healing divisions

When Pope Francis needed someone to help heal Catholics in the nation’s capital recovering from the latest round of clergy sex abuse that had engulfed now former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, he tapped Archbishop Wilton Gregory as its new leader in April 2019.

This January, when Joe Biden becomes only the second Catholic president in U.S. history, the politician who pledged to heal America amid a global pandemic, economic dislocation and a racial reckoning will have Gregory as his local pastor.

Both men have been put in their positions with a mandate for reconciliation and are united by a shared admiration for Pope Francis who on Saturday elevated Gregory to the Catholic Church’s College of Cardinals, making him the first African American to receive the honor.

Gregory’s new title is more than mere symbolism. While it will increase his collaboration with the pope and his profile among the U.S. Catholic hierarchy, it also presents him with a rare opportunity for partnership with Biden who has a more complicated relationship with Catholics and with the church than President John F. Kennedy did 60 years ago.

If biden wanted to heal any divisions at all, he would concede and explain why he is conceding.

1. Biden supports abortion
2. Support of abortion incurs automatic excommunicaton
3. Excommunicated CAN NOT receive communion
4. Gregory says he will give Biden communion with no conditions
5. Gregory is an apostate

Thus, I ignore anything Gregory says.

You’ve got that right.

I even asked him to do so on his website. Guess I should be nervous now.

Oddly, if anyone said anything like that to the rightfully re-elected president, nothing would happen to them. Wonder why that is.

Biden us a lying, braying, false Catholic. Certainly not a Christian if one looks at the fruit he bears.

Naming Gregory a cardinal is Pope Francis’s way of putting his blessing on Joe Biden’s presidency. Deep State, Deep Church.

Frankie and his hand-picked cardinals are going to have a meeting without the cardinals who have caused him problems. Why? To plan in what way they will prepare us for their new church, a church where the gays will hold sway and they will attempt to remove every vestige of the Church once led by the Holy Spirit. It will look like the Church, but every holy thing will be removed.

That is why Frankie is doing what he is doing.

One good thing is that once it gets set up it will not last long, maybe a few months.

This is going to be very hard on good Catholics. If you are a Protestant, please pray for us.

That’s what Gregory’s “closest friends” call him.
