January 26, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – A U.S. priest is warning Catholics that even though some Catholic shepherds along with the mainstream media are trying to portray President Biden as a faithful Catholic who prays and attends Mass, the truth is that someone who champions the murder of children in the womb is not, and never can be, a “devout Catholic.”
Biden “is not a devout Catholic,” said Father Michael Orsi, a priest of the Diocese of Camden, New Jersey who currently serves as parochial vicar at St. Agnes Parish in Naples, Florida, in a homily on Sunday. “Any bishop or cardinal or priest who tries to buy into that lie, who gives truth to that lie, is a wolf in shepherd's clothing.”
Orsi pointed out how quickly Biden, in his first days of office, began to implement his campaign promises of “providing unlimited abortion.” The priest noted how Biden rejoined the World Health Organization, part of the United Nations, what he called one of the “biggest” backers of international abortion. The priest highlighted Biden’s plan to reverse the "Mexico City policy," which blocks federal funds from going to nongovernmental organizations that provide abortion in developing countries.
He also noted how Democrats have already pledged to eliminate this year the pro-life Hyde Amendment that prohibits federal funds from going to pay for abortions in programs like Medicaid. The priest also pointed out Biden’s pledge on the Jan. 22 anniversary of Roe v. Wade to make abortion available to “everyone” by “codifying” the ruling across the country so as to make null and void laws in states that currently restrict abortion access.
Orsi praised a letter from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), released amid some ecclesial drama on Biden’s inauguration day, warning that Biden’s pledge to pursue anti-life and anti-family policies would advance “moral evils” in the areas of “abortion, contraception, marriage, and gender.” Archbishop José Gomez, the USCCB president, stressed in the Jan. 20 letter that abortion would remain the “preeminent priority” for American bishops during the Biden administration.
The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is the murder of innocent human beings and is contrary to the fifth commandment. “Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law,” states the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Fr. Orsi criticized Catholic leaders in the United States, indirectly referring to Cardinal Blase Cupich, who “thought that the letter should not be published and appealed to the Vatican for fear that if it were to be published, it might inhibit some of the further negotiations that the Vatican wanted to have with the Biden administration.”

He’s right. How long before he gets removed?
I saw that Fr. Z is being banished into the outer darkness for having led an ‘exorcism’ of evil forces relating to the election and fraud.
It’s nice to see a Priest who still believes in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Code of Canon Law (1398).
New Biden Era Catholic category: Catholics for Mortal Sins!
I’ve ben saying the rosary daily during this current attack on the constitution. In doing so I’ve developed a fourth set of reflections we call mysteries of Christ’s public life beginning (1st decade with the wedding feast of Cana where HE changed water into wine at the request of HIS mother, then (2nd decade) HIS recruitment of the apostles include mentioning HIS Baptism and walking on water as “fishers of men” the Apostles, then (3rd decade) the gospel of the loaves and fishes, then (4th decade) Palm Sunday and finally (5th decade) the Last Supper preceded mentioning his 40 day period of mortification in the desert where HE accosted the devil. before the passion.
Bttt.

Does Joe the Catholic call himself a Christian?
Interesting that Biden says God Bless America. Does that make him a Priest?
Does he quote any scripture? That would make him a teacher or prophet.
If so, in any of the above ‘offices’, he is a “False” teacher, prophet, or priest.
And such, Christians can Judge him!
The NT letters are about 1/3 full of what to do about False teachers, etc.
The murdering baby killer should be called out!
It is very interesting that both DC and the Vatican are ruled by a fake leader.
He quotes palmists.
In addition to being an asshole.
He quotes palmists.

Using your palm will affect your memory, as our old High School briefings told us, right?
Oh, wait -- there is!
1 Corinthians 5:5
New International Version
5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.

Let’s wait and see. We are supposed to pray for our leaders.
Well, this is my prayer for Joe. It is for his spirit to be saved.
That is not /s
NO ONE should go to hell.
But, meanwhile, God has some ‘leverage’ to use to get Joe’s attention.
The “codifying” issue is becoming a predominant democrat theme. That would be a huge boost to baby killing. God forbid Biden should succeed.
