Is there nothing Never-Trumper, Lincoln Project, and General Loon Jennifer Horn won’t say to get that next dollar on the string? I do wonder if the ‘Leaders” who are basking in the millions of Lefty billionaire bankrolling these turncoat nitwits are having her do this just to make sport of her.
After all, does ANYONE believe her when she upchucks stuff like this?
PRO LIFE! VOTE BIDEN!#COVID19 #TrumpCovid19@ProjectLincoln @RsAndIs4Biden https://t.co/fMtvc6bOq9

And a good response from Terry:
Biden isn't pro life and neither are you

Seriously, while the Press has been rolling over in dog excrement in order to praise Biden’s faith of Catholicism and calling him “devout” (even as those in the same press attack Amy Coney Barrett for actually following the tenets of her faith), there are a few Catholic bishops that are telling Biden he’s not due to his rejection of major tenets of the Catholic Church.
Sidenote: What is the equivalent phrase for Catholics that mirror “Back Row Baptists” (e.g., mouth the words, make the appearances, don’t live the actual precepts)?
- Breitbart: Tennessee Bishop Rick Stika questioned Joe Biden’s standing as a Catholic on Friday, basing that on Biden’s public stance against Church teaching regarding abortion. “Don’t understand how Mr. Biden can claim to be a good and faithful Catholic as he denies so much of Church teaching especially on the absolute child abuse and human rights violations of the most innocent, the not yet born,” wrote Bishop Stika on Twitter Friday.
- News8000: LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) — Former La Crosse Bishop Raymond Burke, who was elevated to cardinal in 2010, discredits Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s standing as a Catholic and says the faithful shouldn’t vote for him. Burke also contends that the former vice president should be denied Communion. “He’s not a Catholic in good standing,” Burke said during an interview posted on the website of Catholic Action for Faith and Family in a video titled “Cardinal Burke provides Catholic Voting Guidance.” “I don’t intend to get involved in the recommending any candidate for office, but simply to state that a Catholic may not support abortion in any shape or form, because it is one of the most grievous sins against human life, and has always been considered to be intrinsically evil,” Burke said in a section on the website titled “Conversations with Cardinal Burke.”
- CNSNews: Bishop Thomas Tobin took an oblique shot at Biden when he observed that there was no Catholic on the Democratic ticket this time. Some bishops have made more veiled comments. Bishop Joseph Strickland has spoken out strongly about the election and how the “Sanctity of Life, true marriage between a man & a woman, supporting the nuclear family and sexual morality based on biblical truth” must be paramount. Bishop Thomas Daly has advised those who “obstinately persevere in their public support for abortion, should not receive Communion without first being reconciled to Christ and the Church.”
What got Biden into deep trouble with the bishops was his decision not only to support gay marriage but his willingness to officiate at a wedding between two men. Three leaders of the bishops’ conference, Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, Bishop Richard Malone, and Archbishop Thomas Wenski issued a statement that was obviously aimed at Biden. They criticized him for being “a counter-witness, instead of a faithful one founded in the truth.”
The most recent bishop to call into question Biden’s standing in the Catholic Church—without mentioning him specifically—is Archbishop Samuel Aquila: “It is not possible to be a Catholic in good standing and support abortion or assisted suicide, to promote unnatural sexuality, or to seek to push people of faith out of the public square.”
If you can’t accept, believe, and incorporate the theology and dogma of your faith and express that faith in both your internal and external life (e.g., the First Amendment’s “Freedom of Expression”), you are disrespecting that faith instead of practicing it. Politicians hide behind lots of things and it it my opinion that too many on the Left DO hid behind religion as a political shield (some might say a “philosophical pawn”) because they know those of faith can break their chances of election, re-election, or gaining higher office.
Back Jennifer Horn – she is now “freely expressing” to the rest of us how craven she is for the money.
You know, 1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
