Biden joins Pelosi in challenge to Church teaching on abortion

Since he rarely has an original thought or position of his own Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joseph Biden has decided to follow Nancy Pelosi and be yet another major public source of scandal to Catholics and to the general public:

In a Sunday-morning appearance on Meet the Press, Biden told NBC interviewer Tom Brokaw that he accepts the Church's teaching that life begins at conception. But he argued that the Catholic teaching cannot be applied to non-Catholic citizens.

Senator Biden's inaccurate rendition of Church teaching on abortion could be challenged today in a very public setting. On Monday, September 8, Bishop W. Francis Malooly will be installed as the new head of the Wilmington, Delaware diocese in which the Democratic lawmaker lives. Biden is expected to attended the installation Mass this afternoon. Thus the new bishop may be challenged immediately to decide whether a Catholic politician who flagrantly violates Church teaching on the sanctity of life will be allowed to receive Communion....

Let us pray that the Bishop will enforce Canon 915 and prevent this man from receiving Holy Communion and endangering his soul even further and prevent more sacrilege and scandal to occur.

Like Pelosi, Biden claimed that the Catholic Church has wrestled with the question of when human life begins. Citing St. Thomas Aquinas (whereas Pelosi had referred to St. Augustine), he pointed out that a Doctor of the Church believed that human life begins with quickening, when the baby first stirs in the womb.

This clown states that he "accepts" that life begins at conception yet he supports the killing of that life? Are these people really that mentally challenged that they cannot understand what they are saying?
