President Joe Biden, who bills himself as a “devout Catholic,” has assailed black letter Catholic teaching 32 times since he put his hand on a Catholic Bible, took the oath of office, and became the 46th president.
The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights detailed the nearly three-dozen rejections of Catholic teaching in a report it sent to all Catholic bishops.
The second Catholic president, Biden unconditionally supports the mass murder of the unborn and so-called homosexual rights, as well as rights for “transgenders.”
Biden’s positions mean he should not receive Holy Communion at Mass. For their part, the bishops are debating what to do about Biden, the most prominent Catholic in the world next to the pope.
The 32 instances in which Biden has trespassed Catholic teaching fall into three categories: abortion, homosexual behavior, and transgender ideology. Aside from trying to turn our kids into sex-obsessed freaks and weirdos, Biden and anti-Christian subalterns are also determined to crush religious freedom.
Abortion
Church teaching on abortion is clear: It is always and everywhere murder, the taking of an innocent life. Biden’s position is clear too: He is pro-abortion.
Among Biden’s acts that trespass Church teaching on the matter are these, the League says:
On January 22, 2021, Biden called the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion a “foundational precedent” that all judicial nominees must abide.
Six days later, Biden revoked the the Mexico City Policy, which blocks money to foreign non-government organizations that promote abortion. The same day, he ordered the Health and Human Service Department to permit health-care providers who receive federal contraception subsidies to send girls to get abortions. Biden also ordered money sent to the United Nations for its abortion-funding programs.
Biden’s Food and Drug Administration is not enforcing the “in-person dispensing requirement” for chemical abortion pills. He even ended restrictions on fetal-tissue research.
Biden wants to resume taxpayer funding of abortion, and will also try to “codify” Roe v. Wade even if the court OK’s Mississippi’s recent ban on killing the unborn after 15 weeks.
Homosexuals and “Transgenders”
Biden’s other obsession is protecting sodomy and medical mutilation; i.e., homosexuals and “transgenders,” the mentally ill who believe they are trapped in a body of the “wrong” sex.
Thus, on his first day in office, right after putting his hand on his family’s Douay-Rheims Bible, Biden ordered that “children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports.”
In other words, Biden wants boys to share a restroom with your daughters.
The same day, he ordered all federal agencies to follow the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that makes homosexuals and transgenders protected classes. President Trump had not enforced that ruling.
On January 25, Biden set about wrecking the U.S. military and ordered the armed forces to accept “transgenders” and provide help to get them “sex changes.” In March, the Biden Defense Department said it would “provide a path for those in service for medical treatment, gender transition, and recognition in one’s self-identified gender.”
A measure of Biden’s obsession with transgenders was his regime’s appeal of a court ruling that permits Catholic doctors and hospitals to refuse “gender-transition” surgeries. Biden’s HHS had ordered them to do so. He would even force Catholic homeless shelters to permit “transgender” men to bed down with women.
That last goes with Biden’s support for the Equality Act, which the House of Representatives passed in February. It would force Catholics and other Christians to accommodate leftist ideology, for instance, by turning “houses of worship and other religious spaces will be turned into places of ‘public accommodation,’” as the bishops said.
Catholic adoption and foster agencies, along with Catholic hospitals, could no longer govern themselves by the light of Catholic teaching.
There’s more, but you get the idea. Biden has opened an all-out legal attack on the Catholic Church … despite being a “devout Catholic.”
No Communion
Despite these grave offenses, the bishops have not said Biden should not receive Holy Communion at Mass. Catholics believe Christ is present in the sacrament, body and blood, soul and divinity. Thus, for Biden to receive the sacrament is a mortal and scandalous sin.
Priests and bishops who give it to him commit a mortal sin as well, but that aside, the U.S. bishops are “divided” on the matter. Some say they won’t deny Biden the sacrament. Others would. The Vatican has warned that blocking Biden from communion would, as some bishops say, would “weaponize” the sacrament.
To his credit, one bishop did tell Biden to stop calling himself a “devout Catholic.”
