The second Roman Catholic president in American history is a devout man who makes no secret of the importance of faith in his life. President Joe Biden is a regular churchgoer, often quotes St. Augustine and carries a rosary that belonged to his late son Beau. In one of the first images released of him in the Oval Office, a photo was visible behind his desk showing him with Pope Francis.
The Argentine-born pope and the new American president have both staked out liberal stances on issues like climate change and economic disparity, and have taken different positions from their "culture warrior" predecessors.
Biden diametrically differs from former President Donald Trump in his support for a more inclusive society, on issues ranging from immigration and health care to LGBTQ equality. Francis has moved away from Pope John Paul II's and Benedict XVI's emphasis on sexual morality, preferring to focus on social justice and the rights of the poor and marginalized. He has repeatedly lashed out at what he describes as the destructive effects of laissez-faire capitalism on society and the environment.

So riddle me this Chip - Why is the left embracing Biden's supposed devout Catholic faith, without a care that his "faith" may, being he is a such a devout Catholic, influence his decisions as POTUS, but had a fucking Autist fit regarding Barret?? Seriously the "REEEEE!!" was heard round the world.
I will tell you why Chip. Because he is anything but a devout or honest anything. He blows whichever way the wind blows, if it is politically expedient today, he will tell you what you want to hear, if tomorrow, the opposite is popular in his party, he will switch directions and tell you what you want to hear. How's those kids in cages thing working out? or those $2000 stimulus checks in a relief bill loaded with pork and pet liberal projects, or the outcries of him starting WW3 for airstrikes in Syria not even 50 days into his term?
