Democrat nominee Joe Biden, an avid supporter of abortion rights, closed a campaign speech in Pittsburgh on Monday by citing Saint John Paul II, who urged Christians to “be not afraid.”
Blaming President Donald Trump for the violent riots left-wing anarchists have staged in American cities, Biden said, “Donald Trump is determined to instill fear in America. That is what his entire campaign for the presidency comes down to, fear.”
“I believe Americans are stronger than that,” he continued. “I believe we’ll be guided by the words of Pope John Paul II, words drawn from the scriptures: be not afraid, be not afraid.”
While Biden professes to be a Catholic, he has promised to defend abortion rights, which the abortion industry refers to as “women’s healthcare,” and has committed to embracing the Democrat Party’s pro-abortion agenda that includes codifying Roe v. Wade, fully funding Planned Parenthood, and forcing American taxpayers to fund abortions.
Maureen Ferguson, senior fellow for The Catholic Association, a group dedicated to being a faithful Catholic voice in the public square, observed that “Biden flip-flopped in order to get his party’s nomination, endorsing taxpayer funded abortion throughout pregnancy, whereas Saint John Paul II tirelessly proclaimed that ‘The Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus’ message …. there exists a great multitude of weak and defenseless human beings, unborn children in particular, whose fundamental right to life is being trampled upon.’”

No real Catholic is fooled by Biden’s pandering.
Quoting something doesn’t mean a thing. Didn’t the devil quote scripture.
I had made up my mind to vote for Biden…..But I cannot vote for someone who approves of abortion. To me that is murder, the fetus is growing and that means the baby is a live person.
No real Pro-life Catholic would vote for Trump. Trump is anti-abortion but not pro-life as evidenced by his support for the death penalty and of murderers. Pope Paul XVI, St Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis have all spoken out against capital punishment.
Pro-life President Trump is not even Catholic yet tracks closer to the sentiments of Catholic prelates than supposed Catholic Joe Biden. The president supports and defends the Little Sisters of the Poor, Biden does not. He also defends religious liberty and conscience protection for health care workers, again, faux Catholic does not. Capital punishment is not the source and summit of a pro-life stance and President Trump’s record far outweighs that of Biden.
This is more than just abortion and a vote for Biden, this man has been in office for 47 years. I want a list of what he has done for this country or his adopted state of Rhode Island the answer is nothing. This poor man is in huge mental decline and will not last out his term should he be elected, for 8 years he was vice president of the United States next to the fist Black president ever to be elected twice! If the U.S. is so racist why is it that Obama was elected not once but twice yet we still hear the screams that we are racist to the core.
Joe Biden who says he’s Catholic, presided over a fake wedding between two men at the official vice presidential residence. Definitively not scriptural.
Ah Romulus….Biden’s adopted state is Delaware not Rhode Island! You need to get your facts straight as does your favorite candidate- Trump – who is a prolific liar.
Yes William, well guess what, he isn’t running for President. What does that tell you about your candidate?
Ah William one other thing, tell Joe I want the same health coverage he has much like he professes in his ad. Again, another joke from Sleepy ? Joe. ?
Ah William Robert my error in the state, and yes Trump is my candidate for President to save this country from yours Biden and the Left wing fanatics BLM and ANTIFA supported by the Democrat party burning, looting, KILLING people, but of course these are “peaceful protests”. By the way Biden is the liar, no fracking then he says he never said no fracking, yes to police defunding and then he said he never said that, the poor man should stay in his BASEMENT. And your vice president nominee Kamala Harris is the most anti-Catholic candidate ever to run for office why don’t you have a talk with her.
Hypocrisy reigns supreme with pseudo-Catholics like Biden and Pelosi. They sicken me more than anybody in politics because they hide behind their religion.
“Who am I to judge?” – Pope Francis (Our current Pope)
Joe Biden realizes the president of the United States has to be the President for every U.S. citizen. He also knows the Constitution specifies separation of church and state. He is merely acting accordingly and being honest about it. The person currently occupying the Oval Office knows no such honor.
As far as “the radical left” and “antifa” goes, our greatest generation was anti-fascist in that World War 2 was fought to defeat fascism. Do we want to remain true to our forefathers vision of what this country should be, what so many of our relatives fought for, to remain a democracy, or, do we want to become something foreign, rooted in hate, oppression, fear and greed. Let us pray for the soul of this nation.
It amuses me, this term ‘antifa’. The antifa radicals want to quash all thought that is not aligned with their agenda. Quash all speech that is not lock-step in line with the vision they have.
Antifa wants to oppress all who don’t agree. They are the ones with a vision rooted in hate, oppression, and fear. Good luck to you if you happen to be dining in a restaurant when they come calling. Good luck to you if they decide your neighborhood exemplifies whatever they decide to object to that day and decide to stage a little ‘peaceful protest’ there.
I pray for all people, not the soul of the nation. If people have goodness in their hearts and act accordingly, the nation will be fine.
Don’t subject people to one’s personal vision, no matter who the person is or what her political beliefs are.
Joe Biden, like the Kennedys, Pelosi, Kane and many other political Catholics are all Pro-Life in faith. However, they do not impose their faith on others. They let them follow the law of the land.
