Social media users have mocked the paper for a tweet describing President Joe Biden as very Catholic
The tweet accompanied an article about Biden s conflict with bishops over his support for pro-choice legislation, which contradicts Catholic doctrine
In June, US Catholic bishops will decide whether to tell Biden to stop receiving Communion if he continues publicly advocating for abortion rights.
It’s being reported by the Associated Press that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops are strongly considering a much tougher stance against pro-abortion politicians by telling them not to receive Holy Communion if they keep supporting abortion:
When U.S. Catholic bishops hold their next national meeting in June, they’ll be deciding whether to send a tougher-than-ever message to President Joe Biden and other Catholic politicians: Don’t receive Communion if you persist in public advocacy of abortion rights.
At issue is a document that will be prepared for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops by its Committee on Doctrine, with the aim of clarifying the church’s stance on an issue that has repeatedly vexed the bishops in recent decades. It’s taken on new urgency now, in the eyes of many bishops, because Biden, only the second Catholic president, is the first to hold that office while espousing clear-cut support for abortion rights.
Is President Joe Biden “very Catholic”? The Washington Post seems to think so, as do most corporate media outlets, which regularly fawn over Biden’s outward displays of piety while regularly showing contempt for the doctrines of the faith he professes.
Maybe they just take Biden’s word for it. After all, the president makes much of his regular Mass attendance, and has long boasted about how important his Catholic faith is to him.
But ordinary Catholics and even some Catholic bishops, it turns out know better. They know that despite Biden’s outward shows of faith, he openly flouts church teaching and doctrine on major issues like abortion and gay marriage, and has for many years.

Yesterday, I wrote an article that referenced a Washington Post piece from Michelle Boorstein. Now, I know it s the Washington Post, which has posted many an article in support of President Joe Biden, including and especially on our Catholic president being devout in his faith despite his public support for abortion causes being a grave scandal, according to the Church. Boorstein s article from Thursday, Biden’s abortion rights stance triggers coming debate among Catholic bishops on Communion, was particularly polarizing.
