The heat is on as US elections draw closer — Issues and Interests often dominate decision to vote and it’s same for many Catholics in the US this time .
It’s not strange as ” some ” Catholics run public to oppose and campaign against #JoeBiden2020 for President ! Many believe Biden wears extreme anti Catholic views making him the biggest threat to the beliefs of the church especially on issues relating to abortion.
Joe_Biden even though is a baptised Catholic and is very likely to be elected as the second Catholic President since JFK left the WhiteHouse some 57 years ago, unfortunately Biden’s strange anti Catholic convictions appears to have pitched him against the Catholic Community in the US and his decision to pick Kamala Harris as veep have almost burnt his bridges to the church. Biden’s veep nominee #KamalaHarris is a known anti-catholic extremist and Pro abortion fanatic, a decision that has attracted the wrath of many Catholics in the US.
Biden himself has never been in the good books of the church because of the demonstration on numerous occasions his love for Abortion which is blasphemous and antithetical to Catholic doctrines and beliefs.
Biden in the past has had to endure numerous motifications by some priests for is wired Catholic beliefs and he’s on record to have been denied communion in the church on two separate occasions, in 2019 and 2018 in his hometown Scranton Pennsylvania.
Many Catholics see Kamala Harris as the greatest threat to Catholic beliefs and to offset this imminent threat , many and other conservatives have resorted to running several subtle and overt political campaigns against the pair.
Prominent Catholics in the US including Bishops, priests, nuns and pro Catholic newspapers have waged an incessant war to block the election of these two abortion fanatics – #BidenKamala from entering the WhiteHouse- for the fear of consequences of their actions on the church in the future !
Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Taxas on his Twitter page
“Catholics take note….reminds me of another candidate calling us “the deplorables”….we need to be awake to this…..Kamala’s Anti-Catholic Assault Previews Her Potential Administration”
DonaldTrump during the RNC blasted Biden’s extreme views on abortion: Trump like many Conservatives is anti-abortionist. Trump on several occasions referred to Sen. Kamala Harris a ” radical leftist
Preident_Donald_Trump : “Democrats’ embrace of late-term, taxpayer-funded abortion, “claims he has empathy for the vulnerable — yet the party he leads supports the extreme late-term abortion of defenseless babies right up to the moment of birth. They have no problem with stopping a baby’s beating heart in the ninth month of pregnancy.”
Houston Baptist University theology professor Robert A.J. Gagnon in a Facebook Post
“A vote for Biden/Harris is a vote for child abuse (cross-sex puberty blockers, mutilation surgery), mandatory Drag Queen Story Hour and ‘transgender’ speech rules, and abortion,” . “In short, an all-out assault on the youngest in our society and the marginalization and persecution of parents and other adults who come to their defense. Don’t be foolish.
In a separate post Prof Robert A.J.Gagnon wrote
“It is not just anti-Catholic bigotry. She believes that no one should be allowed to be appointed to the court or any administrative government post who ever belonged to a religious institution, organization, club, school, or denomination that views abortion, homosexual practice, or transgenderism as sin,” said Gagnon in a separate Facebook post. “How can any Christian vote for such a person or even fail to cast an effective vote to stop her election?”
My reason for writing this piece is to tell you that, The political discourse is for everyone, you may disagree with the stance or views taken by these catholics in the US to vote against Biden who is a baptised Catholic and Kamala who is anti Catholic extremist ….
You must alway get involved and look for reasons beyond mere partisanship before giving out your vote .
Neve be a coward or play one, elsewhere Bishops, priests, nuns etc are running overt political campaign to protect their religious interest…. speak out and vote against any govt with traces of lawlessness, radicalism, extremism, corruption, nepotism , cronyism etc .I’m #Ivan_kyeiinnocent and I’m no cynic
