It is okay “for Catholics to bludgeon the Little Sisters of the Poor provided they carry a rosary,” Dr. Donohue noted wryly in an essay Monday pointing out that for leftist media, the only good Catholic is a bad Catholic.
“CNN ran a piece December 13 noting that Joe Biden goes to church, prays, and carries a rosary,” Donohue observes, joining other puff pieces on Biden’s Catholicism by America magazine, NPR, and the Washington Post.
What all the left-wing media love about Biden’s particular strain of Catholicism is his unapologetic rejection of the Church’s core moral teachings about life and marriage and religious freedom while maintaining all the external trappings of the faith.
“Biden rejects the teachings of the Catholic Church on abortion — he has become an extremist — marriage (he even officiated at a gay wedding), foster care, gender ideology, healthcare, contraception, sterilization, religious liberty, and school choice,” Donohue observes, all of which endears him to the mainstream media.

If you support the revolution, it does not matter what else you choose to call yourself.
They’ll take care of the church soon enough.

A woman today on Called To Communion (Catholic network show) asked Dr. David Anders if the terrible moral state of politicians who hypocritically profess morality and even Catholicism shouldn’t mean we should rise up to challenge them and thwart their activity (my paraphrase).
He replied that many such types are sorry representatives and blah, blah, but remember the purpose of Christ’s mission was not to supplant the earthly secular leadership and we should “render unto Caesar....” “pay taxes” and obey and “pray for them.” “For them” he repeated. Sounded like Nancy Pelosi. I have to add here I like Dr. Anders a lot and agree 90% of the time. Also, Fr. Mitch Pacwa, Fr. Robert Spitzer, Monsignor Charles Pope , Dan Burke, Peter Herbeck and others are outspoken political conservatives on Catholic radio. They take heat for it.
I saw some discussion elsewhere recently that “render unto Casear” is an easy to use dodge for hypocrites like judge not....” in order to go on with the work of Satan on Earth. I agree.
Thanks Frank. I do think there are “render” aspects, but abortion and criminality
are not grounds for simply looking the other way.
I agree with your take there.
Churches should respect the laws of the land within reason, and object
on merit things that pertain to their beliefs that government is wrong to
demand.
