The inauguration of Joe Biden, the nation's second Catholic president and a regular churchgoer, not surprisingly resulted in a slew of secular media coverage of the president's faith, as religion reporters seem to breathe a sigh of relief that the new commander in chief actually practices religion, rather than crassly abuses it.
Biden's invitation of Washington Cardinal Wilton Gregory to pray at an Inauguration Day eve memorial to honor those who have died of COVID-19, combined with his decision to start Jan. 20 with morning Mass at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, set the tone for what portends to be a pious, or at least prayerful, presidency.
And the religious leaders who participated in inauguration-related events highlighted a drastic difference from the previous administration. Instead of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan (who continued to refer to Donald Trump as a "great gentleman" even as his presidency imploded), Biden chose a Jesuit former head of Georgetown University to give the inaugural invocation.
The post-inaugural prayer service line-up also was illustrative: Evangelical prosperity gospel preachers were replaced by two Catholic sisters — one who helped get the Affordable Care Act passed, another who works with immigrants at the border — as well as two transgender faith leaders and the chair of the Poor People's Campaign, among others.
This prompted several writers to trumpet the "ascendency" or "elevation" of liberal Catholicism or liberal Christianity — with the unspoken flip side being the descent of conservative evangelicals, and their Catholic counterparts.

“And I’ve been in Pope Francis’ pocket all along” ~ Pachamama.
I guess killing babies just aint a problem for them. I know what side of THAT moral question I am on! Apparently, they don’t know what side of it they are on.
Schismstic modernist “Catholics”: there has to be some way we can undermine or undo any and all councils, ecumenical councils, popes, etc, before now, all the way back even into Sacred Scripture and undermine even the Sacred Scriptures, the Apostles, and Apostolic Tradition!
St. Peter and St. Paul: et tu, schismatic modernist “Catholics”?
With Frankie’s disregard for the unborn and Biden’s rush to bring back abortion better, and them both being fake “Catholic” leaders - I can’t help but think that somehow somebody is making a move to make the sacrifice of unborn babies the new sacrament of their fake church.
Not judging, mind you, but wondering how the "new commander in chief actually practices" obedience to the Catholic Catechism's Fifth Commandment?
Pope Benedict stated ...NOT ALL MORAL ISSUES HAVE THE SAME MORAL WEIGHT AS ABORTION AND EUTHANASIA......
Stinking 5th commandment..We liberal Catholics could all be great saints if not for that .... We are soooooo compassionate and tolerant
Pope Pachamama, aka Pope Honorius Junior, might well be pondering if all popes are created equal and if he could even undo all councils, synods, ecumenical councils, even Sacred Scripture itself, on the issue of abortion!
He’s making a mockery of your faith people!
That is an excellent summation of the dichotomy that is the Rat voting catholic.
Jesus wept.
Render unto Biden what is God’s holiness, and unto God’s church what is Biden’s state money.
There you have it in a nutshell. The Catholics have become no different than Pharisee worshippers.
And not just any babies, the most innocent ones.
Meanwhile they have no problem funding islamist terrorist polygammy anarchy...
Please don’t paint Catholics with a broad brush.
The author of the article’s religion is government, thus that comment about Biden practicing religion.
You ain’t a kidding that Biden is making a mockery of it.
Time and again when I have defended the Council of Trent’s infallibility, I get hammered by Catholic schismatic modernists.
Catholics led by a Communist Pope!
If this gal, Heidi, wrote this drivel for the purpose of making serious, practicing Catholics feel ill she did a damned good job!
