Opinion

Whenever I write of Roman Catholics, of their beliefs, their faith, I have to record a self-interest. I used to belong to that Church, I was true to their core beliefs. But times, people and even Churches change. I left that Church because they wanted me to accept their policies without question, and I reckoned that the Church was wrong on areas and matters political.

So, I walked out midst sermon, and have never been back.

The ONLY two things where I still stand with that Faith are, first and foremost; my Marriage Vows. Amongst those words were, “In sickness and in health’ was the promise made: and I am a man who keeps his promises.

The second item is that pertaining to abortion. For long enough, my thinking was “it’s their bodies, its their decision”, but my mind was changed. I now believe that the Catholic Church’s stance on the wholesale slaughter of the unborn, when that Church categorically states that it is wrong, is, in essence, the only position to hold.

Which is why I am of the belief that the Washington Post’s essay on abortion is the start, but only the start, of a challenge to Joe Biden’s comfortable stance on that ‘third-rail’ topic. The Post’s essay, in itself a remarkable thing to see in an Administration-supporting publication such as the WaPo. Biden’s statements that he accepts it (abortion being wrong) in his ‘personal life; but will not ‘impose it upon others’, is just what we have come to expect from a greasy, corrupt and quite possibly venal politician.

I suspect that, in this as in so many other policy decisions and statements, he is but the ‘mouthpiece’ for the left-wing interests grouped closely behind that resolute desk. If he truly was a ‘conviction politician’, he would come straight out and unequivocally support abortion. But that way he would instantly call down upon himself not only the US Bishops, but a hell of a lot more vocal types, many of whom would wish to rain down the very ‘fires of hell’ around his head.

In short, he’s a weasel politician and a puppet.
