A Wisconsin priest who condemned Catholic Democrats has the support of a Texas bishop.(Snip)Father James Altman, pastor of St. James the Less Catholic Church, lashed out at Father James Martin, who participated in the Democratic National Convention. “Here is a memo to clueless baptized Catholics out there: You cannot be Catholic and be a Democrat. Period,” Altman said in the video posted Aug. 30. “The party platform absolutely is against everything the Catholic Church teaches, so just quit pretending that you’re Catholic and vote Democrat. Repent of your support of that party and its platform or face the fires of hell.”

So… a Catholic priest and a Catholic bishop say those who support abortion and other Democrat anti-Catholic policies are going to hell. Joe Biden is a Catholic and a Democrat. So Joe Biden is going to hell.
I just wish he wouldn’t keep trying to take all the rest of us with him.

I’m gonna link this article to FB for my neighbors. What is it with farmers and they’re loyalty to the D(emon) party? I had an uncle like this too. So normal in every other respect.

Democrats create hell wherever they alight. Beware the liberal migrants from New York, Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles.

They aren't going alone. Maybe the priests who abused boys will join them.

If you promote late-term abortion, Infanticide and eugenics (we call it Doctor assisted suicide in California) you are not a Catholic unless you are a Jesuit homo.

OP - Thank you so much for finding and posting this article. I was so glad to click on the link to the video you included in a comment the other day. We do have some wonderful priests, many who heard the call during St. John Paul II's papacy and are now coming into their maturity.
Fr. Altman reminds me of all my favorite priests; fearless in living their vocation. I heard a priest, an exorcist at a conference over 20 years ago, talking about the vocation of the priesthood. I've never forgotten his analogy. He likened being a priest to being God's secret agents, "007's", in the world; sent to identify and neutralize evil while shielding God's people from its full force. He explained how Satan prized the souls of ordained priests and avowed religious, and that Holy Orders does not shield against temptation and deception but is an attraction for attack. Those priests that operate deep behind enemy lines use prayer like a bullet-proof vest and Truth as their weapon. They are the tough men accustomed to spiritual warfare, knowing their foe cannot prevail against Truth plainly spoken with the force of conviction and righteousness.
Fr. Altman also puts me in mind of Bishop Fulton Sheen. God Bless!!!

My grandfather was a yellow dog democrat. He loathed Franklin Roosevelt and voted for him all four times because he was a democrat. I have no doubt that Papa would have changed his registration. He was a deeply devout Catholic whose religion meant everything to him and the Godlessness and abortion at all costs of today's democrats would be too much for him to bear.

Amen, #1!
But I’ll go the good priest one better and say that you cannot be a Christian and be a demonrat. Period.

FTA "...Biden is well known to be a devout Catholic..." Just how is that determined and become "well known"? By press releases? Obviously not by actions nor voting record.

The shepherds are the protectors of the flock. On the day of judgement, they must stand before God and give an accounting of just how well they did. I fear many a priest and bishop will face a wrath beyond our understanding that day for being permissive in the pursuit of worldly gain. These two clergymen have spoken truth despite the worldly repercussions and called for repentance. Our Lord did the same.

#11- Thank you. As faithful members of His church on earth, we attempt to serve our Lord in whatever ways possible. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
#19- Indeed. Shepherds will be held to a stricter accounting: “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” (James 3:1)

Joe Biden May have been a Practicing Catholic at some period of his life...no longer!
Once he embraced/advocated Abortion he Excommunicated himself from The Catholic Church!
The Roman Catholic Church believes/teaches that Every Human Life is Sacred from Conception to Natural Death!
Joe Biden is no longer a Practicing Catholic.
