Biden/Harris Admin. Marks 48th Anniv. of Roe With Promise “to Codifying Roe v. Wade.. Appointing Judges That Respect Foundational Precedents Like Roe.”

By Pete Baklinski, LifeSiteNews - President Joe Biden, who calls himself Catholic, marked the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that brought legal abortion to all of America with a pledge that he will make sure that “everyone” who wants it has access to the procedure of killing their preborn children... “The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to codifying Roe v. Wade and appointing judges that respect foundational precedents like Roe. We are also committed to ensuring that we work to eliminate maternal and infant health disparities, increase access to contraception, and support families economically so that all parents can raise their families with dignity. This commitment extends to our critical work on health outcomes around the world,” the statement continued.

Will The Catholic Church Pass the Joe Biden Test? by Tim Busch

By Tim Busch, National Catholic Register - When Joe Biden took the oath of office on Jan. 20, he became only the second Catholic president in U.S. history. The first, John F. Kennedy, was frequently and famously questioned over whether he was, in fact, a servant of the pope... With Biden, a different question must be asked, one that is focused less on the commander-in-chief and more on the Church: How will the Catholic hierarchy treat a president who rejects aspects of Catholic moral teaching?

Societal Polarization: Dangerous But Also a Sacred Duty. by Dr. Jeff Mirus

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - As we move into the Biden era, Catholics must remember that there are two kinds of polarization at work in American politics... One type of polarization is based on preferences for differing positions about which good people can disagree... But the second kind of polarization arises from clear conflicts between good and evil, where one side favors policies that are objectively immoral and the other side resists those policies not so that the nation will maximize prudence, but rather so that the nation will avoid deliberate moral evils.

Biden, the Bishops, and the New Face of Catholicism, by Monica Migliorino

By Monica Migliorino Miller, Crisis Magazine - If not dealt with properly, Biden’s presidency will cause serious damage to the very truth of what it means to be Catholic. Of course, I am referring to the fact that while Biden professes the Catholic faith, he fully supports legalized abortion, same-sex “marriage” and transgenderism, and vowed that he will do all he can to advance these causes during his administration. Nonetheless, Biden’s practice of Catholicism will be on display for the whole world to observe—as he attends Mass and receives Holy Communion.
