Joe Biden’s campaign to con Catholics, often with the help of their own bishops, paid off. He appears to have scooped up at least half of Catholic voters. In the crucial Rust Belt states, he fared far better with them than Hillary Clinton did.
“It turns out that while Trump stays on par (or better) with the Catholic vote nationwide, the GOP’s share of the Catholic vote has been slowly dropping wherever Catholics are more thickly clustered. Trump’s 8 percentage point drop from 2016 with these voters — especially in the swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — is a continuation of a longstanding trend,” reports the Religion News Service.
Countless bishops told Catholics that they could vote for Biden in “good conscience,” and they did. Many bishops aligned with Pope Francis discouraged Catholics from focusing on differences between Trump and Biden on abortion. Don’t be “single issue” voters, they said.

U.S. Catholic Bishops Recognize Joe Biden as President-Elect
“We congratulate Mr. Biden and acknowledge that he joins the late President John F. Kennedy as the second United States president to profess the Catholic faith.”
“We also congratulate Sen. Kamala D. Harris of California, who becomes the first woman ever elected as vice president,” he adds.
Barf Alert Ping
Sure be nice to have a pope in the end times.
Very disappointing.
“Anti-Catholic”. As if they aren’t coming for all Christian denominations. (There ARE more, y’know.)
Be happy you’re not Catholic. You and your church will get free passes and Kamala will visit you.
I am happy I’m not Catholic. You think they’re not coming for the Baptists — the original rabble rousers in America since Roger Williams?
Let me say this: Our Lord promised us that when everything looks like the enemy has won, that will be the point where He will win.
NOT!!!!
I’m not so sure any of these men profess(ed) the Catholic Faith.
I’m really quite done with all of the fraud being perpetrated on Americans and Catholics.
Gird up.
Big whoop. The pope and most of the cardinals and bishops are anti Catholic already.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
John F Kennedy.... that was a vote fraud case too...
faux catholic, also.
I don’t see why this statement is considered “frosty” and “unenthusiastic”.
They’re gonna come for ALL Bible-believing churches with new “hate crime” laws.
They’re only going to allow those that embrace the LBGQT bunch and agenda to exist. THAT is why this Pope is taking the positions that he’s taking.
We’re gonna end up with an evil, demonic whore sitting in the Oval Office.
Totally unelected, totally unqualified, totally ineligible and totally UNWORTHY of it.
All brought on to the country by the RAT party.
Initially you may be a member of a firing squad and then you may be promoted by Kamala to become a victim.
If you find me as your target, I hope your aim is good.
Viva Cristo Rey!
The pope did everything short of openly telling Catholics to vote for Biden. After the archbishop of Washington made outrageously anti-Trump pronouncements, Francis made him a cardinal. Francis has not tried to hide his hostility to Trump for a long time.
Sorry. I have no clue what you mean. Maybe you meant that for someone else?
And how many STOOPID Catholics and Jews voted against their religion and voted for these anti Christian baby murderers?
