The Left has made much of Joe Biden as a Catholic. Yet, he is a Catholic who will make people violate their core beliefs to pay for abortions. His plan is to end the Hyde Amendment.
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) released a statement yesterday calling him out for his policies that “advance moral evils and threaten human life and dignity”.
This was the point.
At the same time, as pastors, the nation’s bishops are given the duty of proclaiming the Gospel in all its truth and power, in season and out of season, even when that teaching is inconvenient or when the Gospel’s truths run contrary to the directions of the wider society and culture. So, I must point out that our new President has pledged to pursue certain policies that would advance moral evils and threaten human life and dignity, most seriously in the areas of abortion, contraception, marriage, and gender. Of deep concern is the liberty of the Church and the freedom of believers to live according to their consciences.
Our commitments on issues of human sexuality and the family, as with our commitments in every other area — such as abolishing the death penalty or seeking a health care system and economy that truly serves the human person — are guided by Christ’s great commandment to love and to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters, especially the most vulnerable.
For the nation’s bishops, the continued injustice of abortion remains the “preeminent priority.” Preeminent does not mean “only.” We have deep concerns about many threats to human life and dignity in our society. But as Pope Francis teaches, we cannot stay silent when nearly a million unborn lives are being cast aside in our country year after year through abortion.
Abortion is a direct attack on life that also wounds the woman and undermines the family. It is not only a private matter, it raises troubling and fundamental questions of fraternity, solidarity, and inclusion in the human community. It is also a matter of social justice. We cannot ignore the reality that abortion rates are much higher among the poor and minorities, and that the procedure is regularly used to eliminate children who would be born with disabilities.
They want a dialogue.
He will do this unilaterally and will not likely engage in dialogue. This is what he thinks is unity.

Unity is just another word used by these socialist dregs and China Joe is not very cognizant, so his handlers are taking care of business. They’ll be sending him off to a home sooner then you think. The DNC and his family should be charged with elderly abuse.
Where is their spirit of unity?
Didn’t they see Our Papa extended his arms to hug them?
Abortions are for the good of the collective as it could the unborn of deplorable kulak untermenschen.
Breaking-twin suicide bombings in Baghdad claimed by ISIS
Don’t they feel the unity?
Do they not have teevee over there?
I guess Biden isn’t Catholic enough for the Catholic church!
Those bishops did not utter a word to support Trump. It was nota preeminent priority then.
The bishops are just playing the opposition game, like the RINOs. They would not fight for what is right, but they are now ready to complain. They have ZERO credibility. God sees what they did.
