NEWS ANALYSIS: Joe Biden, whose globalist, humanitarian and politically liberal vision finds sympathizers in the Vatican, had been quick on the campaign trail to use Pope Francis’ words, despite the politician’s dissent from Catholic teaching on abortion and marriage.
VATICAN CITY — Neither Pope Francis nor the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, have spoken publicly about last week’s U.S. presidential election, possibly waiting for a definitive result.
But over the course of the 2020 election campaign, especially in the weeks leading up to the vote, words and actions coming from both Pope Francis and his advisers suggest their preferred candidate was Joe Biden, whose globalist, humanitarian and politically liberal vision closely matches their own.
Vatican officials refrained from inviting Biden to a Vatican conference this year, unlike Bernie Sanders in 2016, but that didn’t prevent them from tacitly supporting Biden’s campaign in other ways, and one of the most apparent examples was the Holy Father’s latest encyclical, Fratelli Tutti (“Brothers All”).
Published just a month before the Nov. 3 election, it contained numerous passages that soon served as campaign material for Biden, which the former vice president used as an indictment of Trump’s presidency. Under the heading, “A better kind of politics,” the Pope argued against a form of populism that can become “another source of polarization” and division.
Biden, who supports same-sex “marriage” and taxpayer-funded abortion, and has threatened to force the Little Sisters of the Poor to pay for their employees’ contraception, while underscoring his Catholic roots, quickly latched on to the Pope’s words.

So, the Catholic leadership is fine with free and easy abortion and also pedophilia as well as voter fraud. Thanks for clarifying that.
The pope is about as dopey as Biden. Those two jerks deserve each other.
When will The Dancing Boy of Islam send out his homo flying monkeys after President Trump?
Michael Hichborn article..BIDEN ENDORSING NETWORK FUNDED BY CATHOLIC BISHOPS.... The bishops pro-murder actions speak louder than their fake pro-life words....
Well, they enjoy Pederasty and Pedophilia over there, so that makes sense.
My heart goes out to the millions of Catholics who cannot possibly agree with this Pope.
It’s looking like another Reformation is in order.
YES,it’s looking that way....
The Catholic Church is an enemy of the American people.
“The Vatican is the enemy of the American people, not Catholicism “
I specifically said the Catholic Church. That’s the institution.
I too was Catholic.
Hate to break it to you, but there are more protestant voters than catholic voters in the United States.
Glass houses, stones.
I didn’t say anything about voters or elections.
I simply stated the Catholic Church is an enemy of the American people.
All of their advocated policies, domestic and international.
All of them.
Or, do you believe you know of one that is in alignment with US interests?
All of their advocated policies, domestic and international.
All of them.
You talking in the plural now.
Which is it? The Catholic Church or "catholics"?
The institution. The Church.
I appreciate Archbishop Vigano, who should be the pope. But, then again, I am probably a sedevacantist.
Present the evidence.
I have no need to.
Everyone but you is already convinced.
As I guessed. You’re full of it.
