    Has the Pope of the Catholic Church struck a deal with Biden?
    Over the centuries the Catholic Church has struck deals with Kings and Queens and in return looked the way when these Monarchs did some evils deeds. At present Joe Biden is in the crosshairs of the church, over his stand on abortion , which could deny him communion or even excommunication from the church.

    The church has been losing members and hard pressed finding priests and nuns. This Pope, who is from South America and very socialistic in his views, favors open borders.

    or......Is this another sell out by the Democrats and Republicans to big business?

    The question of his standing within the church is in jeopardy because of his stance on abortion. That doesn't change because he's pro-immigration so I lean toward "deep pockets win".

    Why would the Pope and Biden need such a deal? SCOTUS already ruled that abortion is legal, a woman's choice.

    That does not mean SCOTUS made the right ruling. In fact everyone was lied to just so Roe vs Wade had a better chance of succeeding. Maybe you should watch the movie.

    Abortion is wrong regardless of what you think and no Christian should support it.

    Right or wrong, it's the law of the land. In addition, the constitution promotes separation between church and state. That's always a good idea.

    Except when the state orders churches to pay for abortions. That's not a good idea, and is a violation of excessive government entanglement with religion..

    Take the case to SCOTUS. They have the final say in an organization's right vs. the individual.

    Is the Catholic Corporation even relevant anymore?

    Maybe Biden will be excommunicated on the same day Cuomo's impeached....but don't hold your breath waiting for either.

    Biden is a Catholic and the Catholic church is against abortion. One of the Catholic bishops threatened Biden to withold the sacraments from him. The church has long taught the perils of entering heaven without recieving the sacraments. The Pope is in charge of the Catholic Church and it has been going through one scandal after another which in turn has had many leaving the church. That has caused a loss of revenue to the church. Open borders bolsters the illegals entry into the USA and new recruits for the church and bigger collections from the collection plate. US Corporations get cheaper labor and don't have to hire Americans. It's just another way to obtain slave labor. You get cheaper food, service workers at hotels and restaurants, baby sitters and lawn service. Enjoy.

    Done. See Lemon v. Kurtzman "The statute must not result in an "excessive government entanglement" with religion. (Also known as the Entanglement Prong)", 8-1 SCOTUS, what else?

    "Diocese of Albany v. Lacewell" is more relevant here but hasn't been heard yet.

    I've never yet understood why conservatives have such a hate-on for Islam. if anyone is more against a woman's reproductive freedom than the Catholics it's the Muslims, additionally they think women are subhuman in general and hate gays too. What's not to like?

    He is pro illegal immigration. Pro immigration sentiment is a nearly universally accepted by Americans. Most of us have immigrant ancestors. All can agree that immigrants have contributed mightily to our success as a nation. What many of us don't like is engaging in the importation of future voters by failing to control the border. While immigration is a positive, illegal immigration is a negative for the nation.
