Biden’s Catholic Praetorian Guard

Cardinal Cupich and company didn’t want him criticized on inauguration day.

The Biden presidency is already exposing fissures within the Church. On inauguration day, his Catholic apologists bathed him in praise and took bitter issue with Archbishop José Gomez for daring to criticize his anti-Catholic stances. Gomez, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, issued a tame statement, offering prayers and good wishes while noting, “Our new President has pledged to pursue certain policies that would advance moral evils.” But that was too much for Cardinal Blase Cupich, who declared Gomez’s statement “ill-considered.”

Other members of the bloc of bishops aligned most closely with Pope Francis also moved to undermine Gomez’s statement. San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy, building on the pope’s criticism-free approach to Biden, wrote,

Pope Francis’ message to President Biden fundamentally speaks to him in his humanity, a man of Catholic faith striving to serve his nation and his God. This is how we, the bishops of the United States, should encourage our new President: by entering into a relationship of dialogue, not judgment; collaboration, not isolation; truth in charity, not harshness.

Apart from the criticism of Gomez, Biden enjoyed almost a Catholic coronation on inauguration day. It began with a Mass in his honor at St. Matthew’s Cathedral, where the homilist, Jesuit Father Kevin O’Brien, burbled, “We have much to look forward to as a country because of your and Kamala Harris’ leadership.”

Sorry but if the truth be told about the modern day Jesuits, most Catholics would be horrified.

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil POLITICIANS and CLERGYMEN.
For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever.

Amen.

If Francis or any cardinal, bishop, etc, support any teaching that is post Trent, how can they be anything other than schismatics?

Gicen that Biden supports the most pro abortion VP ever, Harris, how can Biden also not be a schismatic?

He added, "And besides, he is favor of killing negro children in vast numbers. That's OK with us."

China Joe Potato Head Biden is Catholic? Who knew?

Joe the 'Catholic' supports abortion, homosexuals and all the anti-heterosexual ilk on display,
antisemitism, adultery (see his own marriage in that context,) and the Nazi-like thuggery of atheist Antifa and BLM.

Those must be the virtues of today's Catholic Church. Anything goes, eh, Bergoglio?
I just didn't know that Christ said sin was passe', that his flock could perform
any depravity and suffer no consequences.

QUESTION...

Did VP Biden attend Mass and church service on a regular basis for the past four years? or was today, a photo op? and where was his wife? also just wondering is Hunter, wife and child, and his daughters from ex wife going to be living in the White House at tax payers expense?

Did Joe attend regular church service during his eight years as Vice President under Barry Hussein rules?

Just really curious and hope some one will answer and tell me how often he attended Catholic Mass?
