Biden and religion

Hi

Am I the only one who noticed Vice President Joe Biden on Ash Wednesday? He was on TV and standing there on a platform with some other people, and there was the traditional ashes on his forehead. It is great that the vice president follows his religion, but I have some questions.

Mr Biden, do you follow your religion when it comes down to voting on the abortion issue? Every one except House Speaker Pelosi knows that the Catholic Church opposes abortion. Mr Vice President, Don't you think it is a bit hypocritical to display your religion on TV and then continue to espouse the principle of abortion on demand? I saw a bumper sticker which sums it all up, the sticker read. "You cannot be a Catholic and favor abortion."

It may seem hypocritical on my part to pass judgment but I feel that those who can have some effect on the issue of abortion and profess to be Catholic should follow the teaching of the Church. For the benefit of any non-catholic reading this the church opposes abortion because it deems that life begins at conception, not when the child passes through the birth canal. If you follow the Catholic rule there can be no other definition of abortion but that it is the taking of a life. I repeat,Mr Biden, do you really believe in the teachings of the Catholic church or are you putting on a show when you wear ashes? Please let us know.

Here I will ask you to be religious and pray for our brave service people.
GOD Bless
