President Biden the Abortionist Catholic

Richard Hollerman

I have never been a Catholic. Although I may have attended a dozen Roman Catholic Churches in my research a few years ago, I must confess that I am not a Catholic and never have been.

Yet we all know that we now have a president who is a Roman Catholic. From Wilmington, Delaware, we know that Biden purportedly goes to Catholic mass each Sunday. And the Vice-president, Kamala Harris, also has gone to this Roman Catholic mass along with the president, although we don’t know about her personal religious affiliation. (We’ve also seen this online.)

But we must confess some ignorance here. I thought that if someone (in this case, the president of the United States of America) were to either hold to or promote the killing of a baby, he must be kept from the mass. In order to verify our views, we have consulted the famous and popular Catechism of the Catholic Church. For instance, Wikipedia says:

The Catechism of the Catholic Church claims that since the 1st century the Church has affirmed that every procured abortion is a moral evil; the Catechism states that this position “has not changed and remains unchangeable.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_abortion).

In this article, we read the following:

According to a 2004 memorandum by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Catholic politicians who consistently campaign and vote for permissive abortion laws should be informed by their priest of the Church’s teaching and warned to refrain from receiving the Eucharist or risk being denied it until they end such activity. This position is based on Canon 915 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law and has also been supported, in a personal capacity, by Archbishop Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, the former Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura.

Pope Francis reaffirmed this position in March 2013, when he stated that “[people] cannot receive Holy Communion and at the same time act with deeds or words against the commandments, particularly when abortion, euthanasia, and other grave crimes against life and family are encouraged. This responsibility weighs particularly over legislators, heads of governments, and health professionals.” (Ibid)

As we turn to the Catechism itself, we read this: “Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae” by the very commission of the offense. . . .” (Ibid). In order to understand the surrounding portions, it would be good to read pages 547 to 549. (Liguori, Mo: Liguori Publications, 1994).

From this portion and the commentary that we have seen online, we understand that:

  1. One who has an abortion commits a grave crime
  2. This person sins against God and the [Catholic] Church
  3. This person must be excommunicated.
  4. Of course, this means that one is barred from the Church until he or she repents and seeks reconciliation.
  5. Such a person will go to hell if he or she refuses to repent and dies alienated from the Church

I am not a theologian nor a Catholic, but this is the way that I read this information. It is our view that this condemnation of infant murder has been accepted by the so-called “Pope” himself! We read:

Pope Francis reaffirmed this position in March 2013, when he stated that “[people] cannot receive Holy Communion and at the same time act with deeds or words against the commandments, particularly when abortion, euthanasia, and other grave crimes against life and family are encouraged. This responsibility weighs particularly over legislators, heads of governments, and health professionals. (Ibid.)

Thus, we must not only believe that God, the Scriptures, the Roman Catholic Church, the magisterium, tradition, but also the present ruling “Pope” condemns baby killing but all of the sins and crimes relating to this.

The logical problem that we would raise about this as follows: We have a president (President Biden, a supposed faithful and observant Roman Catholic) who regularly attends weekly mass, Sunday by Sunday, and he is an outspoken proponent of baby-murder! Just this morning, I heard his remarks before the government propounding his position and saying that he totally and unequivocally supports a woman’s “right” to kill her baby. He says that he will do all within his power to oppose the ruling that the Supreme Court has given regarding the Roe case. He also blames the previous President for appointing three conservative judges who took part in this landmark case of ending the Roe decision of 1973 (that ostensibly allowed women and others to kill infants).

How is it possible for a President or whoever he (or she?) may be to promote abortion with such vehemence and yet remain a Catholic? How is it possible for a baby-murdering Roman Catholic (a president nonetheless) to partake of the Catholic mass? How can a Catholic President be accepted as a faithful Catholic when surely he must be excommunicated if the Catechism means anything? How can a Catholic President remain in good terms with the Roman authorities when surely he must be excommunicated from the Church and be consigned to eternal hell?

As a non-Catholic who is only a Christian, it is true that one who sins (such as murdering babies) and refuses to repent will surely be consigned to eternal destruction. And there are so many aspects to this that are wrong, inconsistent, hypocritical, and merely political. Not only should the president but all of those who advised him, the so-called “priest” who accepts him, the priest who administers the mass to him, and all others who partake of this sin with him should be recognized by faithful Christians as evil, hypocritical, and wrong.

Is this true and am I seeing things correctly? I can come to no other conclusion. Can you?
