President Biden mocks our Catholic faith (Catholics & Trinitarians Only)

[AlexB23]

Hello folks. While I do not like Trump either, as he has tendencies of the wicked man from Psalm 10:2-7 (as I am center, somewhat left, but am still pro-life, but for environmental stewardship), Biden is not good as well, as he echos 2 Timothy 4:3. Joe mocked our Catholic faith.

Video summary:

In an interview on CBS's Face the Nation, Cardinal Wilton D. Gregory, Archbishop of Washington, referred to President Joe Biden as a "cafeteria Catholic" who selectively chooses aspects of the faith to follow while disregarding others, particularly regarding the issue of abortion. This term refers to individuals who pick and choose what they want to believe while ignoring difficult teachings.

President Biden pledged in his 2024 State of the Union address to work towards restoring Roe v. Wade, prompting further criticism from Cardinal Gregory. Canon 751 of the Code of Canon Law outlines three forms of serious violations against the faith: heresy, apostasy, and schism. These offenses result in automatic excommunication unless the individual repents and seeks forgiveness through confession.

On April 23, 2024, President Biden publicly displayed a sacrilegious gesture during an abortion rights rally in Tampa, Florida, by making the sign of the cross while a speaker criticized newly enacted restrictions on abortion access. Spanish Bishop Jose Ignacio Munilla strongly condemned this action, describing it as desecrating the symbol of the cross and invoking it in a sacrilegious manner. Misusing this sacred gesture undermines the core beliefs of the Catholic faith.

Paragraph 2120 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that sacrilege involves treating holy items, people, or places irreverently. Using the sign of the cross inappropriately falls under this category, as it disrespects Christ's sacrifice and the Holy Trinity.

Saint Paul's letter to the Galatians warns against mocking God, emphasizing that consequences correspond to one's actions—good deeds lead to positive outcomes, while negative actions bring about unfavorable results. Encouraging evil acts like supporting abortion contradicts these teachings.

Throughout history, Christians have faced persecutions, including being thrown to lions or burned alive, yet remained steadfast in their beliefs. We should aspire to live according to the Word of God, remembering that whatever seeds we sow will ultimately determine our fate.

He doesn’t know the faith. It’s sad.

We should pray for Biden, that he returns back to true Catholicism, and not this cafeteria version.

Amen!

 

[AlexB23]

Amen!

Amen to that. Is there anything we can do as well, besides praying, to help Biden turn back to his faith, and renounce his gender day of visibility stuff also (by desecrating Easter on March 31, 2024)? We should also pray for Trump, as the Bible states one must not add or remove to the Bible, which he did by adding secular documents such as the pledge and anthem to it, and that he renounces his greedy ways.

Well said. No one is perfect. We are called to turn back to God.

Amen to that. We must all turn back to God, if we have strayed.

Hey, thanks for praying for him. Biden basically put the Bible into a blender, to chop words up and use his own doctrine. That is sickening, and saddening how far some stray from the faith.

If Biden put Christianity into a blender, what has Trump done, run the entire Bible through a shredder? I wonder how many commandments the people making these statements are breaking? The only correct applicant the USA complies with is putting "In God we Trust," on currency.

Agreed, in fact, Trump added to the Bible, which is a major sin in Christianity. A southern pastor denounced polarization in his sermon a few weeks ago.

Proverbs 30:5-6: "Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar."

Revelation 22:18-19: "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book."


God bless this pastor for speaking the truth (Duration: 9 min 20 s)

Summary:

In this video, Pastor Loren Livingston addresses the issue of politicization within the church, particularly the belief that politics is a spiritual obligation. Throughout his passionate sermon, he encourages congregants to focus on their duties towards God and fellow human beings, underscoring the importance of faith and moral conduct. Here are the key points of Pastor Loren's message:

1. Misunderstanding Duty: Some individuals view political involvement as a religious responsibility. However, according to Pastor Loren, Christians should prioritize their service and love for God above anything else. This involves dedicating themselves entirely – heart, mind, soul, and strength – and treating others as they would treat themselves. Voting does not fall under spiritual responsibilities, but rather constitutes a civic privilege.
2. Neglecting Prayer: When believers fail to invest time in reading and praying, they risk diluting their understanding of biblical principles. For instance, seeing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as equivalent to scripture reflects confusion between secular documentation and divine revelation. Such misconceptions contribute to blurring the lines between earthly pursuits and heavenly priorities.
3. Gospel vs. Nationalist Agenda: The pastor clarifies that the Gospel represents the teachings of Jesus Christ, not an Americanized version of it. Despite living in America temporarily, Christians must remember their ultimate allegiance lies in heaven. By striving to embody the love and compassion taught by Jesus, followers preserve the integrity of the original Gospel message.
4. Consequences of Mixing Politics and Faith: Intertwining politics with faith has serious consequences. Politicians may manipulate religion to promote self-serving agendas and capitalize on divisive issues. Referencing recent events involving former President Donald Trump, Pastor Loren cautions against attaching celebrity status to Christianity, warning that such attachments undermine genuine reverence for the Word of God.
5. Discernment Regarding Leaders: Although Pastor Loren avoids explicitly naming names, his words challenge audiences to critically evaluate leaders who claim affiliations with Christianity without demonstrating adherence to its core values. In essence, actions speak louder than mere declarations. Believers must scrutinize the alignment of chosen representatives with biblical expectations and reject efforts to commercialize faith for personal gain.

In conclusion, Pastor Loren implores Christians to remain grounded in their faith and resist allowing external influences—such as politics—to divert attention from their primary commitment to God. As stewards of His Word, they ought to protect and cherish the timeless wisdom found within the Bible, avoiding contamination by short-lived trends and ideologies.</s>

Living our faith, that is, applying Gospel values to the public, social justice issues, has become a no win situation in a nation that has selected two candidates, Trump and Biden as the principle candidates for the highest office. Fortunately, the core thrust of Jesus and his teaching, is personal interior responsibility rather than political action.

It is sacrilegious for either candidate or party to claim some sort of religious or spiritual superiority or even affiliation or representation. When I see Biden make the sign of the Cross or Trump hold a Bible or utter "God" is galls me that they have such audacity.

Making the sign of the cross is not evidence of the intention to make a mockery of the Catholic faith, nor does it prove sacrilege. The cross is where Jesus was seen bearing the sins of the world so that sins could be forgiven.

Man, do not fall for this. We have to repent of our sins.

I'm not falling for the premise that we're voting for or against repentance. I don't believe we can legislate the Spirit of God into people.

True, but we can at least try to stick to our faiths. I'd rather have an atheist president who does not have to stick to ideals, vs a president who blatantly ignores Catholic ideals. None of the two main candidates stick to Christian ideals.

The Faith is that Love is Eternal.

When you say "our faiths" it's a subjective view. Objectively, there's only One faith because there's only One God. And there's only one Christ who died so that sins can be forgiven, not condemned. This True image tells me in my heart to avoid judging others so as to escape judgment, because I will be judged by what measure I use to judge others. He elaborated on this by saying the merciful shall receive mercy.

Here's Paul's take on it as the summation of his describing how mankind became sinful in the first place. "Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things."

I do not have time for this. Gonna work on a study of John 8:7, Ezekiel 33:11, and Matthew 5:38-42.

The distinct difference is: One is a sinner [as we all are tbh] but he is not making speeches for others to commit the same sins. he is not condoning them. He is not making laws to have them done.

And the other... is condoning sin. Celebrating it. Berating the courts for removing federal status of it as law... etc

Not comparable.

OTOH we are also judged for avoiding teaching others to avoid sins.

When we are told do not Judge - IE to hate sinners so much as to condemn them to hell or death...and then leaving them to their sins. HOPING they go to hell.

In no way do we cower from teaching truths. That's not judging.


AND if people come in here seeing us ignoring the falsehoods of Biden, we do a disservice.
