FSSP: Catholics voting for Biden ‘would commit a grave sin’

The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) pointed out that 'any Catholic who supports' pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden 'would be in proximate cooperation with evil.'

Update October 19, 2020 at 4:28 p.m. Eastern time: This article has been updated to make clear that although the article was published by the Fraternity of St. Peter, it does not necessarily reflect the view of the FSSP in general. The article the FSSP published was an opinion piece written by an anonymous FSSP priest.

October 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — An article published by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) pointed out that “any Catholic who supports” pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden “would be in proximate cooperation with evil and would commit a grave sin, regardless if someone says he or she is ‘personally opposed to it’ also.”

The FSSP is a young community of priests attached to the traditional liturgy. The anonymous FSSP priest who authored the article emphasized that “Mr. Biden should have a firmer conviction and certainty of the natural law right every human being has to life.”

“His private ‘belief’ in this matter cannot be divorced from his public policy; he cannot observe a public stance that is either directly contrary or indifferent to it without committing grave sin and causing scandal,” Friday’s article stated.

“The stance on life is not a disagreement in perspective or approach between political parties. It is a moral absolute that admits no compromise, and is the issue that must rise to the top on election day. Abortion, which is the ugly daughter of a contraceptive, ...

Now she knows a Biden vote
Is very, very wicked

My Uncle’s pretty high up in FSSP. Been meaning to ask him if they’ve put out anything on these kinds of topics.

I'm disappointed the article had to be updated to state it's not the official position of the FSSP. Does the FSSP fear repercussion from the Biden Bishops who allow them faculties in their dioceses?

and Cardinal Burke says Biden should not receive communion as he is not a Catholic in good standing.

Whenever anybody wants to talk to me when they know I’m a conservative it’s onto my summary of the Republican and a Democrat parties

Of course it comes down to the most important subject in all of politics - the Rosetta Stone - life

The Republican Party

The republican party cares about all life wants babies to be cared for in the pouring cared for taking care of and if the mommy and daddy can’t take care of a baby to be adopted by loving parents

The Democratic Party

The Democratic Party wants babies to be murdered their body is extracted from the female their little bodies chopped up in the little baby body parts sold for as much money as possible

if this can all be part of a Satanic ritual , the more the better

That right there is the summary of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the United States of America

So this priest is obviously correct

if you believe it all in Jesus Christ , there’s no way in hell you can vote for a party the devotes itself to Satan!

It’s probably reflexive from the time when the LBJ administration attacked religion with the IRS.

Lois Lerner was never punished.

Probably. I've talked to my Uncle about what it would take for them to open up a Church near us (far east of Dallas), since the closest one is 45+min, a drive across downtown Dallas, and always crazy crowded.

He said one big reason is that they just don't have enough priests to expand at all (Francis and Vatican/USCCB in general push against seminarians choosing FSSP/SSPX). But the other big thing is getting the permission of the local bishop to open the Church. While they aren't exactly part of the diocese or under their control, they still need local approval to go into their territory.

From a Lincoln, NE FSSP Church bulletin:

From the Press: The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) through the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) are funding an organized and direct effort to elect former vice president Joe Biden as the next president of the United States... [O]ne of the most heavily funded organizations of the CCHD... Faith in Action is involved in a consistent and direct partisan push in favor of Joe Biden and against Donald Trump for the2020 national election. Not only is this a direct violation of CCHD grant guidelines, but if left uncorrected it displays USCCB complicity with electioneering for an apostate Catholic who supports abortion through all 9months of pregnancy, has performed two same-sex “marriages” and is running on a campaign whichpromises persecution of faithful Catholics throughout the country.

She will be.

If not in this life, then in the next.
