It is possible to have a democratic majority senate override Republicans.
Joe Biden is practicing his Catholic Faith in a gravely deficient way

For sure, in fact it may have prevented you from doing so at all. When I was younger I didn’t respond well to personal attack and know that sort of thing would only have served to drive me further away.

In the case under discussion, the majority would have to be 2/3, plus 2/3 in the House. Is that likely, even with some Senate elections coming up in 2 years along with the House?

They complain about the thread but give it life by responding. Hahaha
People don’t want to debate his faith as shown by his words or actions because the words and actions are against Catholic teaching and they don’t have legs to stand on. So they call the op judgmental
Are they causing a national scandal supporting and promising to expand intrinsic evils?

No, but you’re also not a public individual representing my faith to the world at large. If you were, I certainly would have told you off, having a stake in the reaction to and assumptions of Catholics everywhere, myself included.

Possibly. We know for a fact that Biden isn’t, however. It’s public record.

We don’t sin any less judging someone because they’re a public person as opposed to a private person.
If you are truly concerned about Joe Biden, then write him a letter, and pray for him. No need to engage in endless public speeches about how awful he is.
Since someone has already complained about people who don’t care for the thread topic posting in it, I will not add further to the thread. Good day to you.

I don’t think calling Biden bad for endorsing abortion in the face of Catholic teaching is a sin, unless the Church has so completely abdicated its responsibility of teaching and demonstrating what is right to do and say that Biden can’t be held accountable. I suppose that could be the case, in which case I don’t much see the point of being Catholic myself. I suppose we’ll see.
I didn’t say he was “awful”. I did say I think he’s bad for endorsing abortion. Doesn’t mean he can’t become good again. I do already pray, and a letter is a good idea; but as long as he continues in scandal and promoting something very evil, I’ll feel free to continue to discuss it.
And to you.

It is? I looked up and all I found was that he carries a rosary and regularly attends Mass. I do not know how often he says the rosary of course. But the record looks like he is practicing his faith.

Serious question, not trying to be snarky: what else is there to discuss? What nuance of this topic hasn’t already been kicked around a hundred times over?
Joe Biden is pro-choice and he shouldn’t be. It’s bad.
99% of us agree on that. But past that, what else is there to say on this topic?
I get that I can just ignore the discussion, and maybe I should, but it feels like every other thread is about the Joe Biden’s (bad) take on abortion. I don’t get why people find it appealing to repeat the same talking point in twenty different threads.

It’s nearly impossible to gain any political power while strictly following ones faith. Especially in an country where the laws aren’t mean to be influenced by any one religion. His personal convictions are likely different from his political leanings. I don’t think it’s anyone’s place to judge his faith.

There are reasons to respond. For me, posts that claim is not a good Catholic, is a fake Catholic, is not really Catholic, written on a forum that appears to the world to be VERY official, can be harmful. is a real, live person with family and friends.
What if your kid or mom or friend googled your name and found a thread on Catholic dot com stating that you were not a real Catholic?
What if you were someone who had fallen away from the Church and you are very embarrassed about your failings, afraid you are beyond forgiveness, and you see that the biggest Catholic forum on the internet is full of Catholics who confirm your fears?
How does this bring Christ’s love to others?
Those people, those real people, need to see that not all Catholics are ready to cast stones.

Speaking as a non-US citizen / resident I admit to being quite stunned as to the strength of anti-Biden rhetoric on this site. He may not be a perfect Catholic (who is?!) and I do appreciate the concerns about his “promotion of abortion” - is that the same as a reluctant recognition of the current status quo? - but, for the first time since JFK there’s going to be a Mass-attending Catholic as president. If I wasn’t so
British I’d be dancing in the street! For those of us who have watched from afar, perplexed and aghast as the current incumbent makes an international laughing stock of himself (accepting that any nation is not immune to that!), perhaps we should all just pray for a peaceful concession and transference of power in line with the democratic decision of a great nation and for the President Elect to make good (and right) choices for the next 4-8 years and, for now, give the guy a break!

His actions and words are more harmful than a thread on this forum. They are deadly to some. The scary part is those that he leads away with his brand of Catholicism. People want us to ignore his expansion of abortion, ignore his support of SSM, ignore his support of forcing contraception on the little sisters of the poor, ignore all the anti-Catholic teachings he supports because he goes to mass, I don’t think so.
does his very public support of intrinsic evils bring Christ’s love to others? we are told to go and sin no more, has he done this when he promises to expand abortion?
Dancing in the street for a person who supports abortion, LGBT, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, transgenderism, identity politics, the destruction of the family, contraception, socialism, breaking the seal of the confession, federal funds to pay for abortions, forced abortions in Catholic hospitals
Okay you dance, I’ll pray for the souls being led down the wrong path by these policies. Why do we refuse to see the eternal harm these policies bring to people

I am in no way saying that supporting abortion is okay. I am thankful that our God gives us the opportunity to confess and repent of our sins right up to the moment of death. Jesus will judge us accordingly - and let’s face it, it’s only through Jesus that I/we deserve such grace and forgiveness.

How or to what extent Mr. Biden practices his faith is not my concern. What does concern me is that he will likely lead an adminisration which puts into practice quite anti-Catholic policies, executive orders, and regulations.
