abortion monomania
https://rustbeltvoice.blogspot.com/2021/01/abortion-monomania.htmlI have liked Joseph Biden for a long time, before he became Vice-President. (in the primary, i still voted for Warren) He had a reputation of genuinely caring. His humanitarian concerns were real. I have no doubt his Catholicism (and Pelosi's) is real. But this doesn't matter one whit. Catholics of a particular bent of piety have been successfully propagandised. These people will immediately attack Biden over abortion. There is no conversation possible. The chief architects have been the bishops. There pre-dominant (strike that, damn near only) teaching directed to Catholics who vote is abortion, no compromise. Everything else can be sacrificed. Consent to the position is required, abiding to it is not. They, and those of their following have produced uncompromising hatred towards Catholic Democrats.
Y'no, on Democratic Underground Catholicism is adamantly and immediately attacked by some people here. That is why there is this supposed safe place group existing. These "Catholics" that have been so evangelised share the same intensity of hate. Both of these groups will find any grievance to attack Pope Francis.
Many American Catholic bishops are primarily administrators of property and resources. While some are good Christians, and good men; many are just conservative businessmen. Joe Biden is a good Christian, Catholic man.
