Catholic Democratic activists believe that Biden’s faith will be an asset to the Obama campaign — particularly in Pennsylvania, his native state.
Chris Corzen of Catholics United stated, “Senator Biden’s selection as vice presidential candidate is a positive development for Americans who respect leaders who have strong religious, family and personal values.”
But Stephen Dillard, the founder of a new blog, Catholics Against Joe Biden, disagreed. “I think Obama’s selection of Biden may help him with cultural or cafeteria Catholics,” he said, “But I don’t see faithful Catholics voting for the most pro-abortion presidential ticket ever simply because Biden grew up as a Catholic.”

The choice of Biden by Obama is an excellent choice for those who are extreme liberal and those who truly favor the slaughter of the unborn. I say shame on Biden and Teddy Kennedy passing themselves off a such devout Catholics when they go against the grain of the most fundemental issues of the faith. Abortion is the murder of the unborn child. No one would support me putting a bullet in my childrens' head because the economy is bad and I am struggling to support them so why then should such reasons be acceptable to kill them in the womb. There are too many selfish reasons why women seek abortions and I know because I used to counsel women contemplating abortion and ran statistics. I also say major shame on the Catholic Church if they dare provide Kennedy, Biden or any other Catholic that has betrayed the faith in such an exteme mannor a Catholic funeral because their family has generously provided financially to the church. It sickens me. To do this gives the Catholic Churches approval to defy what the Catholic faith holds dear. Until we provide non-waivering support for life in the womb, no life is sacred!
