Pro-abortion former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has released another campaign video touting his supposed Catholic faith and friendship with Pope Francis.
The short video released last week shows Biden and Pope Francis smiling and greeting each other, while a voiceover of Biden speaks about an occasion when the two men met at the Vatican.
Biden goes on to praise Pope Francis and identify his presidential campaign with the values displayed in Francis’ pontificate.
Biden says that he met a group of nuns after leaving his meeting with Pope Francis. To Biden, the nuns “epitomize everything Pope Francis talked about in his homily and what he stands for.”
Biden identified what Pope Francis stands for as “generosity to other people,” “reaching out,” and “making it a point to understand that we are our brother’s keeper.”
“We are our brother’s keeper,” Biden says. “We have an obligation. I think that’s the way, the only way, we’re going to make the world better and safer.”
Last month, Biden promised if elected president, he will reinstate the Obama administration’s birth control mandate forcing Catholic nuns to participate in the provision of contraception.
Earlier this year Biden released another campaign video featuring Pope Francis in which Biden says that he goes to Mass and says the rosary and that faith is what has helped him through the most difficult moments in his life.
Biden has made taxpayer-funded abortion on demand and enshrining into law the many demands of the LGBT lobby a key part of his 2020 presidential platform.
He has said that if he wins the election, he will direct the Justice Department to “do everything in its power” to block state laws that place any restriction on abortion, including parental notification requirements, ultrasound laws, and waiting periods.
After the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis, when restrictions were placed on various medical services, Biden said abortion is an “essential health care service” and that it is necessary “to ensure that women have access to all health services during this crisis.”
In June Planned Parenthood, the world’s largest abortion business, endorsed Biden for president and later that month Biden affirmed his support of abortion “under any circumstance.” Last month, Biden promised to restore domestic and overseas funding to the abortion industry, and undo the Trump administration’s efforts not to finance abortions with federal money….
The above comes from an Aug. 12 story on LifeSiteNews.
The Democratic ticket this year has everything: experience, wisdom, diversity, faith, conviction, courage, zeal, commitment to the underdogs. There’s nothing not to like.
Except the policies and the candidates
Wrong, they have zero commitment to the unborn, the most vulnerable of underdogs. There’s plenty not to like, this election is not some silly Facebook poll.
The alternative haze zero commitment to the born.
What underdog? The least among us are those who cannot protect themselves from the instruments of death. So let’s start with experience: What exactly have they accomplished in all these years? Wisdom: when they don’t know the difference between good and evil. Diversity: when they hold people of color down on their plantation and keep them in poor cities, on welfare, no choice in education. Courage: to promote evil? And Zeal: for the agenda of those who want to continue to destroy America, with their anti-life, anti-family and anti-law and order. That’s the Democrats for you.
Call 911 you must be choking
you can’t be serious.
The Democratic ticket this year has everything all right, everything from hell; defunding the police, releasing criminals from prison, killing the unborn, the celebration of debauchery, putting other nations ahead of our own, raising taxes, endless lockdowns, and most of all; the continued persecution of the Catholic Church.

The USCCB in “Faithful Citizenship” says that Catholics are not single issue voters and no single issue controls when making a decision to vote, so stop all this holier than thou stuff.
Karen, the USCCB is not the ultimate voter guide and their opinions can – and should – be rejected. As a group of politically liberal American bishops, their agenda tracks almost exactly with the Democrat party. It cannot be describes as neutral, and if anyone is holier than thou, it is people like them, and you, who refuse to prioritize LIFE as issue number one, yet posture as champions of the underdogs.
With all due respect, Karen, I don’t think Clinton mentioned just a single issue.
Yeah, it’s probably time for the USCCB to stop issuing new versions of Faithful Citizenship. It’s not helpful, not clarifying at all. Rather than helping Catholics inform their consciences about the election and related issues, it serves to make things murkier.
Karen , you and Susan from the Parish council need to read about Kamala Harris’s anti Catholic views and her time as AG of California and her treatment of priests sex abuse.
Thank you Karen!
The DNC is playing a shrewd hand, though not with a legitimate deck of cards. For low information voters, those on the other side of the culture wars or voters afflicted with TDS (not mutually exclusive categories) this strategy might just deliver a strong majority of the Catholic vote and ultimately a landslide Biden victory come November. The few Catholics I have talked to all seem to belong to one or all of the above categories.
I’m old enough to remember when JFK ran for President in 1960. Some critics then said he would let the Pope have a guest bedroom in the White House. Now, sixty years later, hardly a word is raised about Mr. Biden’s religion. Similarly, there seems to be little comment about Senator Harris’s ancestry.
The times they are a changing.
There are still a lot of people in our country who will not vote for a Catholic.
@ Karen – apparently Human Sacrifice is on your acceptable list.
Oh please this is so ridiculous to say that Biden is a devout Roman Catholic, he is pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, and has nothing to do with Roman Catholicism, Trump for being a Protestant is more Catholic than Biden could ever hope to be. Our First Lady Melania who is Roman Catholic being from Catholic Slovenia is I believe guiding our great President as well as being in contact with the brave Archbishop Vigano.
If for any reason Trump loses in November our country as we know it is doomed, Biden and Harris along with the BLM movement founded by three Black Lesbian Marxist-Leninist’s along with the Democrat party will destroy all that we know! The warning is fair and it is right before your eyes in the streets of Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, New York, Denver, Atlanta, Washington DC, Tucker Carlson who as brave a man as I have ever known puts his career and yes even his life on the line each night to show and warn us about what we will face come November.
All the cities I have listed above have one thing in common all are Democrat-run and all in ruins and out of control. My friends this has nothing to do “Black lives” it never did, which is sad, it is about the total take down of President Trump and our nation as a whole, George Soros, BLM, Antifa and yes the Democrat party all have their hands in this. Again the warning is fair, you have the power in November to stop this.
All too often, with some causes and those believe vociferously in them, exaggerations and superlstives often come into the fray of civil conversation. VP Biden supports the church and other religions in vRious ways, and because one is pro-choice makes one an advocate for abortion on demand beyond the legal first trimester. Yet, perhaps to further.cause, gain converts, or cement one’s pious belief by instilling fear that the abortion issue will expand. I abhore that other restrictions (hospital rights, etc) to artifially reduce abortion rates are an “ends justifies the means” paradigm. If we truly want a near zero abortion rate, one must accept that society has yet to create a true axiom of sex only when married, and only for procreation. Humans have sex in variety of circumstances, and birth control (fully allowed, meant to prevent pregnancy as an adult choice) needs to be full and accepted. Then, hopefully, abortions go radically down because fewer unwanted pregnancies occur. The church likely will not achieve the no-abortion-no-birth-control status, but offering birth control is a fair compromise. People can choose to have sex without fear of pregnancy, and much less abortion happens. I am afraid a chutch cannot have both…
Once sex is removed from the marital act humans become objects.
What is chosen when one is labeled “pro-choice”? Pro-choice is an incomplete phrase so therefore it’s a deflection of what is really being chosen. And what is the back-up to a failed contractive? Could it be abortion? The Church cannot condone sin. The rates of abortion went up precisely when the sexual revolution began. Free love, free sex, free diseases, free heartache, breakup of the family, etc.
What is chosen? Killing a baby. Not just any baby. A pregnant woman only can choose to kill the baby inside her.
Michael Dremel,, NO NO NO!!! Using birth control is extremely offensive to God. It is a mortal sin. It is not a compromise to prevent abortion. Not allowing your children to be conceived is SO wrong. Do not even suggest such a immoral thing.
Sen. Kamala Harris grilled a candidate for a U.S. District Judgeship, by the name of Buescher. She and Senator Maize Hirano both suggested that Buescher was not qualified to be a federal judge as he was a member of the Knights of Columbus, an all male organization opposed to abortion.
Headline: Harris to Catholics: Drop Dead.
She also had David Deleiden’s apartment raided, so she seems to be fine with aborted baby body parts being sold. Is there any evil any worse? She has got to know that those videos were not faked. She is not that stupid.
Regarding who is a Catholic Mr. Biden Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. Roberts have all self excommunicated themselves from the Catholic Church in accordance with this dictates because of their positions specifically regarding abortion no question about it no hearing automatic
I am so disgusted by the news that the real reason Jill Biden’s ex divorced her was because she was having an affair with Joe Biden and that they have been lying about how they met for years. Of course, he has a book coming out so…grain of salt. But Biden the Catholic still married a divorced woman…
I wonder how many abortions Trump has paid for.
Right?
