The fact Joe was close and comfortable with Raddatz~(she should sue her plastic surgeon)~ gave him the freedom to act like Batman's Joker. All people will remember about the Vice Jackass is his boorish behavior in a serious setting.

When Biden says that he doesn't want to impose his views on others does that apply 1) to murder as a crime, 2) the Democratic platform?
What hypocrisy!!! The Church should excommunicate him, Sibelius, and all the other faux Catholics who condone, support or allow pro-abortion policies.

odd - the link is to Clarice Feldman's article...

And who is to be purged OP? IMO, neither have the moral authority to do it. Catholic politicians have been supporting abortion for decades with the tacit approval of the church. The church itself has never rained in the nuns who run around on preaching Women's Rights. There are no clean hands in this evil movement.

an excellent article. I don't know how to correct the URL, but here is the correct one. Take the time to read this, it is spot on.

A teachable moment, #4. It is reined in, not rained in.
The expression comes from the olden days, and the use of horses. One would control the horses by pulling back on the reins.

thank you, 5. I agree - this is a very important article...

Biden is NOT a Catholic.

Biden, Pelousy, Sebelius, and other Dems should be called "Wheelbarrow Catholics". They load Church Doctrine in a wheelbarrow; roll it around til they need to espouse some point they want to co-opt for their own. Point out their point of view ( That they're GOOD Catholics. BUT The Church Doctrine is not in conflict with Their views. Although, Doctrine must apply to every other Catholic.
Hypocricy, is alive in the Dem Party.

Apparently, he needs more practice.

Practicing Catholic? Not if I were Pope.

After 90-minutes of watching Uncle Joe, I now understand why democratic women are so anti-child (Pro-Choice)

There is one trick that bidet always uses to get sympathy and that is invoking the memory of his dead wife and child. He certainly deserves sympathy for such a horrible loss, but, to use it to deflect criticism is cheap beyond belief.

Ah,No. 2 good idea but it won,t happen to any of CINO's in thedmocrat party. they are afraid of small collectionson sunday.

FTA: Joe Biden repeated twice that, "with regard to abortion," the church's position that "life begins at conception" is de fide, or "belonging to the essentials of the faith, by virtue of a papal ruling."

This is incorrect. The fact that human life begins at conception (or, to be more exact, fertilization) is established by embryology, not by papal ruling.

The Catholic Church argues --- correctly -- that this is not a matter of Supernatural Revelation, but a matter of Natural Law: something that is affirmed by evidence and reasoned argument, and which is therefore broadly intellectually accessible to everyone and binding on everyone, not just on Catholics.

This is relevant because the discussion is about public policy which passes the Constitutional "rational purpose" test.

We can't say "Everyone in the USA should be obliged by [civil] law to receive Communion," because that is based on Faith. However we can say "no one should intentionally kill the conceived child," because the conception of a child is an objective fact, and the prohibition against the killing of children is a matter of Natural Law.

Given the option, I'd rather stand with the Atheists for Life

than with the Catholics for choice.

Why? Because God is not fooled by Baal-in-a-Catholic-hat.

Biden needs a lot more practice.

When you see Jeannie DeAngelis's byline, take the time to read what she has to say. It is always on subjects of importance and her very well-articulated take is always right on point.

This essay is no exception.

I'm not Catholic, but I oppose abortion as a means of birth control. Unless she is raped, in today's world, a woman does have the right to control her body and not get pregnant. If her birth control fails, she knew she was taking a chance with Nature, she made the choice. Without any religious training, I believe it is terminating human life and I cannot support that.

I agree #18. However, I must take it a step further. I cannot think of any question or problem in which the solution is to kill an unborn baby.

I have seen cases where a mother refused to abort her child because a Dr. told her it was for her health. 'Health reasons' can be a vague reason.

I have also heard of a woman who conceived during a rape and refused to abort her child. She said that she had been through a horrific situation and could not see where killing her unborn child would make things right.

Incest is another horrific situation. Punish the violator, not the innocent children.

These are courageous woman, and they have God on their side. There are no easy answers and, in my opinion, abortion is not a consideration.
