Tennessee bishop Rick Stika has called into question claims by Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi that they are “faithful Catholics” over their oppostion to Church teachings.

In a tweet onTuesday the bishop of Knoxville said “It really confuses me that both Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi time and time again state that they are faithful Catholics and yet promote unlimited abortion as well as deny so many of the teachings of our faith,” he added that “Nancy stated that she will no longer support the Hyde Amendment.”

Breitbart reports: “I guess they think it is ok to say they are faithful but yet support the ultimate child abuse and human rights violation of the death of the unborn,” the bishop added in a separate tweet. “I hope someday, her portrait will be removed from the Capital as she did of those who supported slavery. No difference.”

“From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person — among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life,” states the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

“Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion,” the Catechism continues. “This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law.”

The Catholic Church considers abortion such a grave evil, in fact, that it is one of the very few sins punishable by immediate and automatic excommunication.

LGBT Jesuit Father James Martin rushed to the defense of Biden and Pelosi, insisting that a bishop has no right to question the “personal faith” of Catholic politicians.

Father Martin also said that the bishop’s characterization of the two Democrats was inaccurate, suggesting that the only point on which Biden and Pelosi dissent from Catholic teaching is the matter of abortion.

  1. What does it even mean when Pope Emeritus Benedict said of the Vatican that ,” they in there hate Jesus and Christians ” .And that ” they hate Truth and Beuty” .What does it mean .? Really .

  2. By any measure they are not only NOT faithful Catholics, but not even Christian by what they encourage and support.

  3. Obviously Biden and Pelosi lie a whole lot too, making them more than just immoral abortionists.

    Lying appears to be instinctual to both of these lying clowns.

    They are also big into oath breaking lies too.

  4. Practicing means trying .Maybe they mean theyre trying but failing because they just believe what they want to believe so might as well be atheists ,or maybe they follow some other faith more suitable to their aspirations ambitions greed and desires,as well as hopes for the salvation of humanity .
