Joe Biden’s renegade Catholicism is nothing if not bold. It is a distressing and hubristic jumble, an admixture of everything from transgenderism to Marianism. At one moment, Biden is advocating for abortion and dissolving differences between the sexes; in the next moment, he is gushing about Our Lady of Guadalupe and his devotion to the rosary. The media, of course, loves this erratic style of non-threatening religiosity and has rewarded Biden with flattering coverage of his faith. “Not a ‘cardboard politician’: Biden’s faith forges bond with Mexico,” read a recent Reuters headline.
In his virtual meeting with Mexico’s president, the story notes, “Biden, the second Catholic U.S. president, opened his remarks noting that he had ‘paid respects’ to the Virgin of Guadalupe on trips to Mexico, and wore a rosary from her namesake basilica that belonged to his late son.”
The legion of such leftists in the Church makes it easy for Biden and his aides to divide and conquer confused Catholics.
Biden’s Catholic schtick worked. “Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Tuesday praised Biden’s openness in the video conference,” reported Reuters. “ ‘From the outset, this confession that he wears a rosary, the mention of the Virgin of Guadalupe,’ Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference.…

Tobin has been added to the powerful Congregation for Bishops, making him one of the chief bishop-makers in America.

One could aay the same for Bergoglio.
Bergoglio and Biden: The Killer Bees.
As a “rad trad” catholic, after the utterly disgusting manner in which Bergoglio and his apostate church gushed over Biden purloining The Big Steal I decided to not give another nickel to any church appeal at the international, national, or diocesan level. I wiil donate to my local parish and to individual local charity organizations, but that’s it. I refuse to financially support the agents of Satan himself that are riddled throughout the catholic dhurch today. Surprisingly, my traditionalist priest agrees with the legitimacy of this policy.
Rd later.
Biden and Pelosi mock Catholicism and the Lord.
It won’t end well for them if they don’t repent.
