Jesuit priest James Martin is pretty woke, and he thought it was sad that Bishop Rick Stika would question the Catholic faith of both Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Biden’s faith was a big subject during the Democratic National Convention, so it’s one of his campaign’s major selling points.
It really confuses me that both Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi time and time again state that they are faithful Catholics and yet promote unlimited abortion as well as deny so many of the teachings of our faith. Nancy stated that she will no longer support the Hyde Amendment.

We already know that Biden flip-flopped on his support for the Hyde Amendment during the campaign.
It is sad that a bishop again attacks the personal faith of two Catholics, inaccurately. Mr. Biden and Ms. Pelosi "deny so many of the teaching of our faith"? So many? Other than abortion, which ones? The Incarnation? The Resurrection? The Trinity? The Real Presence? Grace? https://t.co/HCq8zkjp3a

Oh, OK, so “other than abortion,” they’re both practicing the Catholic faith.
"other than abortion"

He didn't ATTACK their faith, he questioned their commitment to the public PRACTICE of their faith. Even if it was JUST abortion (which it isn't), that is still a pretty big foundational belief they are in opposition to.

It’s a shame someone, whose profile is with a religious collar on, thinks abortion is a minor thing to be ignored

Just that one, tiny little issue involving killing unborn babies. But hey, they are Catholic when it comes to take communion!

Apparently abortion is no biggie. Nothing but a thing ??♀️

Other than that shooting the President stuff, John Wilkes Booth was a pretty good guy.

Mrs. Kennedy, other than that how was the trip to Dallas?

For a man in a collar, @JamesMartinSJ seems shockingly unfamiliar with Christianity. Promoting the murder of babies is pretty high up on the list of things to avoid if you're a Christian. Pelosi and Biden are both enthusiastic about infanticide.

He’s saying it’s inappropriate to attack a politician and yet he attacks Trump all the time.The other day he had a thread asking if Trump really went to Wharton or if he just took a credit or 2. I was like that’s mad petty for a priest. On the other hand abortion is consequential

So other than supporting taxpayer-funded late-term abortion, they’re both good Catholics. And no one in the media would dare ask about it.
