Larry O’Connor: Biden’s Damnable Lies About Catholicism

Joe Biden may be putting his soul at stake by championing abortion rights and other policies that go against Catholic Church dogmas. It’s a completely different matter when he misrepresents Catholic Church teachings on such issues, misleading potentially millions Catholics into believing that they can defy it and still be Catholics of good standing. 

It is clear that Joe Biden is positioning himself as a lay-spokesman to the Church by repeatedly claiming that he’s a devout Catholic. 

This is the devilish deal that he is making by using his religion as a political prop. Biden was inspired by the Kennedy brothers in 1960s to use the dirty dogmas that identity politics has to offer in order secure the Catholic voter. It’s the same way politicians cynically try to lock down the Latino vote or any other ethnicity that can be easily exploited. 

Biden was looking at the Catholic vote as another ethnic group, mainly made up of politically active Irish Democrats and Italian Democrats along East coast. If you invoke Kennedys and speak about your Catholic faith, you will get the Knights of Columbus working for your campaign.

However, he is an American representative of the Church because he professes his Catholic faith. He is also guilty of leading others to their salvation by misrepresenting some fundamental dogmas.

Biden’s latest disinformation offensive was launched when he angrily corrected questions about the US bishop regarding funding abortion.

In typical Bully fashion, he shouted down a reporter for challenging his knowledge of Church teachings. He behaved like a bully, shouting out a complete lie and even inviting the Pope to join the conversation. 

The US Catholics deserve credit for not wasting any time Publication of a statement clarifying the record. Biden’s lies are exposed by clarifying the record. 

This teaching has been consistent and clear from the Catholic Church. The Catholic bishops in the United States share a common commitment to life. They will continue to work together in Christ for making abortion impossible. Pope Francis, the Holy father, stated that “abortion is not an option.” ‘It is not right to ‘do away with’ It is possible to use a small amount of human resources to solve a problem. It is like hiring a hitman.’ Taxpayer funding of abortion would force people of good conscience to participate in this grave evil against their will. This would violate our rights to live in harmony with the beliefs of our faith. We are better than this. I pray we will all protect each child, no matter their age, and that our hearts will open to mothers in dire need of love and support.

This goes far beyond just a matter of a “fact check” The lies of politicians. We’re all used to Biden lying. It’s a habit he does all the time. It’s what he has done for the majority of his 50-year political career.

Let’s be clear: he isn’t lying to pretend to be Catholic. He is lying to give cover to Catholic Democrats who don’t agree with their position on abortion. American Catholics will soon realize that supporting Democrats who promote abortion on demand is a grave sin. Democrats like Biden don’t deserve that. They only care about votes. They are willing to lie about Church doctrine in order to secure nominal Catholics who vote Democrat despite being against abortion.

It’s American politics, I get it. You can say whatever you need to to win those votes. 

Biden’s lies on abortion are more dangerous than your average politician trying to get into a group pretending he’s one. This is not Hillary Clinton lying about her love for the Yankees, despite having said that she was a Cubs fan all her life. 

Biden’s lies regarding the Catholic faith, doctrine and faith have far more serious consequences. For innocent Catholics, whose faith is sadly not known, lies about the Catholic faith of Biden are more harmful.

Biden’s depraved misrepresentation Catholic teaching will send Catholic Democrats who didn’t vote Republican, because their parents had a photo of John Kennedy next to Jesus Christ, straight to eternal damnation.

It is obvious that the American bishops are reluctant to explain the problem as clearly as this column. They must. They fear that by appearing to use faith for political purposes, they will lose more souls. They are afraid of losing the support of fence Catholics who believe the bishops have chosen sides in American politics by telling the truth about Joe Biden’s misrepresentations regarding the faith.

It’s a concern that I believe is very real.

His constant evangelization of his devotion to the Church, while at the same time proclaiming the Church’s acceptance of his abortion-loving ways, leads more Catholics who are not Catholic than the devil. 

The bishops are now free to repeat it as is. 

Joe Biden appears to be in a state of despair, but that’s not a reason for him to drag so many million Americans down with him.
