WASHINGTON, D.C., August 13, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) Bishop Joseph Stirckland sent out a tweet suggesting that Joe Bidens running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, reminds him of former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who famously called conservatives deplorables, at the height of her 2016 campaign.
Catholics take note....reminds me of another candidate calling us the deplorables....we need to be awake to this.....Kamalas Anti-Catholic Assault Previews Her Potential Administration, wrote Bishop Strickland.
The Tyler, Texas bishop, a stalwart defender of human life and protector of the Catholic faith, was calling attention to an article published in the The Federalist titled, Kamala Harriss Anti-Catholic Assault Previews What Would Happen in Her Administration.
Vice President Joe Biden has just picked as his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), a woman who believes Catholicism is an extreme set of views that should disqualify someone from public office, wrote Paulina Enck, who went on to substantiate her well founded claim.
Harris demonstrated shocking anti-Catholic bigotry in the confirmation hearings of Judge Brian Buescher, recounted Enck. Harris cited his membership in the all-male society the Knights of Columbus and its stances against abortion and same-sex marriage as grounds for rejecting Buescher for a federal district court in Nebraska.
Ms. Harriss embrace of religious intolerance is especially significant because in two years she could be the next U.S. President, wrote the Wall Street Journals Editorial Board at the time. What does it say about todays Democrats that no one in the party of Al Smith and JFK sees fit to rebuke her?
Since the announcement of Harris as Bidens V.P. pick earlier this week, pro-life leaders have sounded the alarm about her extreme position on abortion.
David Daleiden, head of the pro-life investigative group Center for Medical Progress, wrote that from his firsthand experience, he considers Harris the greatest threat to First Amendment civil rights our country has ever seen.
During her time as attorney general of California, Harris played a key role in defending Planned Parenthood over its sale of aborted baby parts (which violated multiple federal laws, according to undercover video of abortion industry personnel).
Last year, Harris unveiled a plan to essentially force pro-life states to seek permission from the federal government before pro-life laws can take effect.
The announcement of her proposal, titled the Reproductive Rights Act, said Harris will require, for the first time, that states and localities with a history of violating Roe v. Wade obtain approval from her Department of Justice before any abortion law or practice can take effect.
The Susan B. Anthony List has noted Harriss troubling Senate voting record, displaying her radical views on abortion and her determination to protect it, saying she twice blocked Senate vote to protect babies born alive during abortion; Unveiled a plan to prevent pro-life states from passing pro-life laws; and voted to force taxpayers to pay for abortions.
A vote for Biden/Harris is a vote for child abuse (cross-sex puberty blockers, mutilation surgery), mandatory Drag Queen Story Hour and transgender speech rules, and abortion, wrote Houston Baptist University theology professor Robert A.J. Gagnon in a Facebook post. In short, an all-out assault on the youngest in our society and the marginalization and persecution of parents and other adults who come to their defense. Dont be foolish.
It is not just anti-Catholic bigotry. She believes that no one should be allowed to be appointed to the court or any administrative government post who ever belonged to a religious institution, organization, club, school, or denomination that views abortion, homosexual practice, or transgenderism as sin, said Gagnon in a separate Facebook post. How can any Christian vote for such a person or even fail to cast an effective vote to stop her election?
On Monday, Bishop Strickland also commented on the high stakes of the upcoming election:
85 PRAYING DAYS...until the election. Please pray for hearts to turn to God & choose candidates who promote....the sanctity of life, the Christian moral code, the sanctity of marriage & family, parental choice for educating their children & uphold basic freedoms for every person.
Ping
The strident lawyer Kamala Harris is not just anti-Catholic, but anti-Christian, through and through!!!!
And she wants to use the government to push her anti-Christian and life-denying ways in a tyrannical manner!! That is just plain EVIL!!!!
A vote for Biden-Harris is a vote for tyranny and evil! PERIOD!!!!
I am afraid that even with Harris views on Catholicism, many Catholics will still vote for Democrats. I am a non practicing Catholic and I abhor the church, from the pope on down.
Jesus is my savior, even without the Catholic Church. And yes, I have donated to my former Catholic grade school because the church does keep the word of God alive.
Anti-Catholic Harris and pro-abortion Biden form a demonic pair that Christians vote for at the peril of their eternal souls. Vote RAT and it is a vote for Satan. All you Oil&Gas workers better get ready for a long unemployment period. All military rolling and flying stock will come to stand still. Might as well invite China to invade.
+Strickland and +Cordileone are two of the good ones. Let’s face it. A not insignificant number of the U.S. bishops (and probably >80% of the Francis appointees) are voting Biden-Harris.
He is my Bishop and I couldn’t be more proud of him.
Finally, a Prelate to be proud of.
The faithful probably already are.
I’m afraid he’s just preaching to the choir.
He needs to focus on those who ignore Catholic teaching on abortion and homosexuality and vote democrat.
THEY are the ones who need to change their vote.
If you are a Christian, it is not right to abhor the Church!
Find a historic Church that you can love! Have you looked into the Orthodox Church? Please do so, even though it is harder to do so with all the pandemic restrictions.
May God send us vaccines and treatments that allow “social distancing” to end, and also send us election results that will save us from tyranny. Then the Churches can open up, and you can experience the Holy Orthodox Church in all her glory!!!!
We have enough to worry about with anti-Catholics like Biden.
She is of the devil. It’s in the eyes.
Lord have mercy on us!
If every catholic voted for President Trump, he would win in a landslide. But that will never happen.
Harris has amply demonstrated her anti-Catholic bias in grilling Catholic nominees. Her questioning was out of line. She did what she shouldn’t have done. At the same time, she didn’t do what she should have—she failed to prosecute cases of priestly sexual abuse of minors.
Bump to top!
Kamala Harris is an anti-Catholic bigot.
Agree.
I believe that voting for the Biden-Harris ticket would be a mortal sin.
How in hell did this country get to this point? Dear God, we can’t do it without your direct intervention. Have mercy and do it for a second time.
