There was considerable discussion over the last few years about the conflict between Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and the Catholic Church. These debates involved abortion and whether you could be Pro-Choice and remain in good graces with the church, and still be eligible to receive the sacraments. I am of the belief that it was hypocritical to call yourself a devout Catholic and condone the killing of unborn babies in the womb, or worse, the failure to administer aid to a baby who survived an abortion, only to let him die outside the mother’s body. Remarkably, there have been more situations that have come to light that further call into question the ability to be a Democrat and remain in the grace of the Catholic church. “Catholics in name only,” like Pelosi and Biden, should never be allowed near the altar with their warped and dangerous beliefs.

Unchecked immigration through porous borders, which led to the rape of millions of illegal females, and the murder of thousands as they traveled to breach our border, or the loss of close to 300,000 juveniles who were “lost” by the Biden administration, only to end up in labor or worse, sex camps, are two of the inhumane situations that no Catholic should stand by and watch happen. We have also seen a tremendous increase in the number of trans adolescents, fueled by pressure from social media to be something other than who God created, which led to the chemical and surgical mutilation of untold numbers of children under the age of 18. Many of these procedures were done with the consent of the parents, or the children found their way to sanctuary states, like Maine, where they can be treated without parental consent. Finally, we have the separation of parents from their child’s educational process, which has opened the door for further indoctrination of our youth, including exposure to alternative sex practices and books containing graphic detail in the libraries of many of our elementary schools. To what end is it necessary to expose young children to practices of the LGBTQ+ community? It is simply warped thinking.

This is not really a political issue and has nothing to do with the relationship of church and state. This has to do with claiming to be a follower of God while pretending to live by his example. Can you be turning your back on innocent individuals for the sake of living a woke life, while masquerading as a Catholic or Christian? Can you hold onto beliefs that are entirely against the word of the Bible, and then play the good Christian and teach Bible Studies after church services on Sunday morning? Not in the real world and certainly not in God’s world.

The Democrats have been on a slow and steady march away from God and religion for the last fifty years. It has been such a methodical process that some caught up in it may not even realize how far they have drifted from God and humanity. That is why it is so easy for some to gather, pick up their signs, and march aimlessly on behalf of criminals at their neighbors’ expense. Democrats claim we have to open our doors to our neighbors because we are not generating future generations at a pace to sustain ourselves. Yet, they condone the killing of 66 million unborn babies since Roe vs Wade was decided. They condemn the Right and call for the abolishment of ICE because of the deaths of two protesters in Minneapolis, but fail to acknowledge the arrest of 275,000 criminals, including 4,000 murderers, by ICE in just the last two years. These criminals never should have been in our country, let alone terrorizing our neighborhoods, but they are because Democrats invited them in. But Democrats can gather in Hollywood, in their finest attire, under the protection of millions of dollars worth of security, to proudly wear their “Ice Out” pins and give Don Lemon, who was part of a group that violated a church service, a standing ovation for his actions.

Pick a lane, folks. In my humble opinion, you cannot live on both sides of this fence.
