God alone will judge Biden's soul. But we can judge these actions: • He supported abortion—ardently—for decades. • Was endorsed by NARAL and PP. • He "officiated" at a "gay marriage" as VP and basically forced Pres. Obama to endorse the same. • Supported expanding and protecting access to contraception. • Staunch supporter of the transgender ideology/cult. • Loud and proud cheerleader for LGBTQXYZ+ depravity. • Attacked and smeared Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas in ways that (at the time) shocked even other liberals. • As VP/POTUS, sought to force Catholic religious orders/organizations to pay for contraceptives, etc. There's much (much!) more, but that's plenty. The man was either delusional or a liar. I happen to think he was somewhere on the sociopath spectrum. Regardless, his public record as a Catholic is a shameless and scandalous one.

Writing @cworldreport a year ago, @HenricksJayd said this about @CardinalBCupich: Cardinal Cupich is his own man, and he has proven many times that he is willing to go his own way, or the way of a small minority of bishops, and create division. Perhaps he has the smell of the sheep, but his sheep tend to huddle in the far-left corner of the yard. I do not know Cardinal Cupich personally, but I have been around him enough to have a sense of the man. He was my rector at the seminary for first-year theology, and even then, in 1995, he went his own way. I remember one evening he cancelled all classes and pastoral activities for a special convocation, something unprecedented for the seminary. He called us together to announce he had been made a monsignor. I felt bad for him then because I thought about how isolated he must be to believe that any of us cared. He also imposed on the seminary a liturgical sensibility that was out of touch with the seminarians: Mass in the round (actually, it was a square), rubrics ignored, Adoration offered once a month in a far corner of the seminary that had a sense of marginalization, and open conflict with admired faculty members, among other things. None of us at the time imagined he would ever rise in the ranks. Monsignor Cupich would, however, find his way to the top. When I worked at the USCCB, he did not hold any significant leadership positions. He could not get elected due to how unpopular he was (and remains), and yet he frequently muscled his way around with staff. He created a climate of fear, so familiar during the Francis pontificate, that impacted the daily work of lay staff. His move to Chicago was a sign from Pope Francis that the Pope wanted a disrupter among the U.S. bishops. For reasons unknown, Pope Francis did not like the American bishops, and moving Blase Cupich to Chicago and elevating him to the rank of cardinal was an attack on the collegiality forged by the post-Bernandin Conference. Cardinal Cupich seemed to relish the role. He was the voice of the Vatican when the USCCB planned to take decisive action in the wake of the McCarrick affair. Cardinal Cupich delivered the message that the Holy See would take a different approach, and the USCCB must stand down. Unfortunately, the USCCB leadership capitulated, and Cardinal Cupich had another Pope Francis feather in his zucchetto.
