Opinion | Biden Is the Most Pro-Family President in Decades. So Why Is the Catholic Church Attacking Him? politi.co/3nhK0M4 via @politico
“the church’s only lobbying priority that may rank higher than abortion is fighting every federal or state law that targets its impunity and limited liability over the sexual abuse saga.”
“Americans are on the verge of benefiting from perhaps the most pro-family legislation in the nation’s history. And the Catholic Church is nowhere to be seen.”
“The church has been a major political force behind the creation of America’s social safety net, from supporting the establishment of Social Security, Medicare and anti-poverty programs, to advocating for immigration and civil rights reforms.”
“The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops — whose support for major legislation historically has been crucial — has largely been silent. Church leaders, who enjoy guaranteed health care and housing for life, have mounted no public campaign to support it”
“Their only advocacy so far has been to invent concerns about tax dollars funding abortion services THAT ATE NOT EVEN INCLUDED ANYWHERE ON THE BILL!”(my caps)
“It has become an absurdist one-note play…even during a period of dehumanizing and violent attacks on immigrants and marginalized communities, with hundreds of thousands dying from a pandemic”
