What Is This World Coming To?

The Vatican might think Barack Obama is arrogant for his staunchly  pro-death view, but it just loves Vice-President Joe Biden.  Or at least, Washington Catholics do.

Biden and his wife, Jill, sat in a pew reserved for him and his family toward the back of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, and listened as the Rev. Larry Madden, S.J., delivered a sermon about God as a constant anchor and the promise of hope and change for those who believe.

(And since unborn babies don’t believe, then no hope for them!)

Toward the end of the 11:30 a.m. Mass, as one of the lectors urged those in attendance to welcome new members and visitors, some in the congregation laughed and then applauded, looking toward Biden.

He eventually stood and acknowledged the response that included a standing ovation.

Unlike his boss,  who claims he doesn’t know, Biden admitted on CBS “Meet the Press” that; “I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception.”

So, if he is prepared to accept that as an article of faith, does that mean he supports the killing of unborn human beings?

Well, yeah.  I mean, no.  Well, sorta.   This is Joe Biden, remember.

“It’s a personal and private issue,” he said. “For me, as a Roman Catholic, I’m prepared to accept the teachings of my church. But let me tell you. There are an awful lot of people of great confessional faiths … who have a different view. … They believe in their faith, and they believe in human life, and they have differing views as to when life (begins).”

In other words, when life begins is a multiple choice question and every possible answer is correct, so he can support killing baby human beings because not everybody thinks they are baby human beings.

As close as I can figure it, this is the new administration’s position on abortion.  Obama isn’t sure if he is advocating the death of innocent human babies or if he is merely speaking of some unfeeling mass of protoplasm.

But since he isn’t sure, he prefers to err on the side of destruction.

Biden, on the other hand, is sure.  He actually believes he is supporting a woman’s right to kill her unborn baby,  and believes it is a human life from onception.

Still, Biden has never wavered in his defense of Roe v Wade.

During his own campaign for president, he promised he would not nominate anyone to the Supreme Court that did not support a woman’s right to kill her unborn baby.

“I would not appoint anyone who did not understand that Section 5 of the 14th Amendment and the Liberty Clause of the 14th Amendment provided a right to privacy,” Biden said.  “That’s the question I’d ask them.  If that is answered correctly, that that is the case, then it answers the question, which means they would support Roe v. Wade.”

Even though human life begins at conception.  Don’t worry about Joe Biden forcing you to bow down to his ideals.   He won’t.  He’s going to force you to bow down to somebody else’s ideas.

A senior Vatican official on Saturday attacked US President Barack Obama for “arrogance” for overturning a ban on state funding for family-planning groups that carry out or facilitate abortions overseas.

It is “the arrogance of someone who believes they are right, in signing a decree which will open the door to abortion and thus to the destruction of human life,” Archbishop Rino Fisichella was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera daily.

Obama signed the executive order cancelling the eight-year-old restrictions on Friday, the third full day of his presidency. Read the rest of this entry »
