Massimo Faggioli's book on Biden and Catholicism explains our critical moment
Biden and Francis are about the same age. Both are imbued with the Spirit of Vatican II. Both are smooth operators. Both are plain spoken. Francis has dropped the Magisterium from his writings.
Joe has so far taken a respectful tone on abortion. He needs to be a truth teller on the issue, starting with his economic plans. He must highlight both that they are as pro-life as pro-life gets. He must go further and cajole Catholic Charities and the USCCB to force the National Right to Life Committee to score them as must-pass legislation.
He must also gently instruct the bishops and the public that there is no other way to deal with abortion, that Roe will never be repealed and why that is the case. If he does that, Trumpism can be dealt with. If not, he must quickly get everything done, because McCarthy wants to be Speaker in 2022.
