Washington D.C., Mar 2, 2021 / 09:00 am MT (CNA).- President Joe Biden cited Our Lady of Guadalupe and displayed his rosary beads in a conversation with the president of Mexico on Monday.
In the virtual conversation with Mexico’s President López Obrador, Biden—a Catholic—claimed a devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe from his previous travels to Mexico as vice president.
“During my visits, I got to know Mexico a little bit and its people, and paid my respects to the Virgin of Guadalupe. As a matter of fact, I still have my rosary beads that my son was wearing when he passed,” Biden said according to a White House transcript of the event. He noted that he visited Mexico four times as vice president.
Biden has previously referenced his son Beau’s death from brain cancer as an incident where he relied upon his faith. In a 2020 campaign ad, he said that his faith supported him through tough times, noting that “I go to Mass and I say the rosary. I find it to be incredibly comforting.”
Our Lady of Guadalupe is patroness of the Americas, given the title by Pope St. John Paul II, and is also patroness of unborn children.
Biden is just the second Catholic U.S. president, and the U.S. bishops’ conference has noted the unique circumstance of having a Catholic president who upholds Church teaching on policies such as immigration and fighting poverty, but contradicts Church teaching on life issues, marriage, religious freedom, and gender ideology.
The USCCB formed a working group in November to advise the conference on how to deal with Biden; the working group made two chief recommendations before stopping its work in early February.

Weren’t AMLO and BiXiden talkin’ Commie to Commie?
Hmm. I wonder if this foreign agent knows that Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
“ On 13 May 1846, the United States bishops unanimously chose “the Virgin Mary, conceived without Sin”, as patroness of the country, a decision approved by Pope Pius IX on February 7 of the following year and published in a decree of 2 July 1847”
And that the Cathedral in DC is devoted to her. Hmmm Or if he ever Goes to the USCCB with a rosary blabbing about how much he loves the US. what a great guy he is, making sure he manages his power
Nah.
As a matter of fact, I still have my rosary beads that my son was wearing when he passed,” Biden said
As a father I cannot imagine saying this about my son.
“Hot Sauce” moment.
Has Nadler condemned Biden’s comments yet?
Yeah, this is Hillary Clinton territory.
Biden’s ongoing exploitation of his alleged “devout Catholicism” is offensive and disgraceful. He’s a Pharisee of the worst kind.
Why do I think he’s lying?

Ummmmmm...because his lips are moving?
This phony Catholic is insufferable!
Wearing when he passed?? I don’t know anyone who wore their rosary. My mother clutched hers through the days in the hospital before her death...and it was buried with her. I clutch mine also when I lie down. It’s comforting.
He’s a liar and a panderer. I’m sure the irony escapes him that Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of the pro-life movement. The image portrays her as being with child.
No Joe-not every president is brain dead.
Fake Catholic.
No press conference, no direct talks with any world leaders, only “virtual” meetings with virtual “attendance.” We have a virtual president with senile dementia. The Svengali regime of Jackass Demented Joe and his Indian Ho teeters on...What a shame on America......
Two things guaranteed to start an argument...1) Religion 2) Politics. Keep it up Joe! Fidiot...
Anyone who thinks this a true spontaneity and not staged is also a Fidiot.
In a couple of Catholic schools I taught in, in NYC working class nabes many of the girls, particularly the Italians, wore rosary beads around their necks. We discouraged doing so because the practice was looked on by the girls as being akin to carrying a rabbits foot.
mealy mouthing
Fake!
