Puff Pieces About Biden’s ‘Faith’

Puff Pieces About Biden’s ‘Faith’

One of the many manifestations of the media’s bias is its tendentious treatment of the Catholic Church. Seeing the Church as a historic impediment to the advance of liberalism, the media tends to favor whatever weakens her. Hence, liberal revolutionaries within the Church, who seek to throw her teachings into disarray, can always count on favorable treatment from the media. Reporters accord the motives of these revolutionaries a respect they rarely grant conservatives, who are often depicted as hidebound weirdos.

The more liberal the Catholic, the more sympathetic the coverage. One can almost say that in the media’s eyes the only good Catholic is a bad one — that is, a Catholic who rejects the teachings of the Church. The latest beneficiary of this bias is Joe Biden, who conforms perfectly to the media’s conception of a useful and nonthreatening Catholic.

The puff pieces about his “faith” continue to pour out. The Washington Post recently wondered, hopefully, if Biden’s dissents from Church teaching might “redefine” Catholicism. CNN headlined a treacly piece on Biden’s churchgoing: “Biden’s Catholic faith will be on full display as the first publicly churchgoing president in decades.” What Catholic faith? He opposes Church teaching on multiple issues, but the piece treats that as a minor detail. The piece reads almost like a press release from the Biden campaign.

Conservative Catholics never receive such fawning coverage.

Plugs the Pedo’s “faith” is his belief in his ability to run a criminal enterprise enriching himself for over a half-century while serving in office (while not having to answer for doing so).

The demons in the media know as much about faith as I know about brain surgery.

Don’t you love it when atheists tell Christians how they should worship.

Compare how they write about Biden to how they treat real Catholics like Amy Coney Barrett.

It seems that the Catholic leaders agree with this.

Biden isn’t Catholic. He is self excommunicated by Cannon Law. All pro abortionist Catholics are.

I think everyone should point that out over and over. It is a lie that Biden is Catholic until he repents and changes his ways.

As others have noted, the mainstream media's narrative is basically that the only "good Catholic" is a bad Catholic.

Shades of the GOP being called "Red"

More proof we're now living in George Orwell's 1984.
