The leader of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop Timothy Broglio, has issued a statement rejecting President Biden’s claim that some bishops were fine using taxpayer funds to carry out abortions, while another bishop has accused him of being a ‘fake catholic’.

Broglio said that the stance of Catholic bishops were united in their commitment to preserving life and their efforts to make abortion unacceptable. 

He also stated that using taxpayer funds to carrying out abortions would violate the religious beliefs of people and go against their right to life, in accordance with their faith. 

‘The Catholic bishops of the United States are united in our commitment to life and will continue to work as one body in Christ to make abortion unthinkable,’ Archbishop said in a statement.

A reporter posed a question to Biden last week for his response to: ‘Catholic bishops are demanding that federal tax dollars not fund abortions.’ Biden responded, saying, ‘No they are not all doing that, nor is the Pope.’

‘Taxpayer funding of abortion would force people of good conscience to participate in this grave evil against their will. It would contradict our right to live in accord with the tenets of our faith,’ said Archbishop Broglio, who also leads the Archdiocese for the Military Services USA.

Meanwhile, Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, one of the most outspoken conservative bishops, took to Twitter to criticize President Biden’s beliefs calling him ‘fake.’ 

It came after a reporter posed a question to Biden last week for his response to: ‘Catholic bishops are demanding that federal tax dollars not fund abortions.’ 

Biden responded, saying, ‘No they are not all doing that, nor is the Pope’.

The pope has routinely compared procuring an abortion to ‘hiring a hitman.’ 

Yet, Biden, who favors legalized abortion and who regularly attends Mass and carries a rosary, cited both U.S. Catholic bishops and Pope Francis in defense of federally funded abortions, despite both the bishops’ and the pontiff’s consistent and vocal opposition to the practice.

'Mr Biden can't be allowed to twist the words of Pope Francis in this way. I implore the Vatican press office to emphatically clarify that Pope Francis rightly calls abortion murder. It is time to denounce Biden's fake Catholicism,' tweeted Bishop Strickland, pictured above

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops published a letter last Friday to the House of Representatives and the Senate specifically calling for end of taxpayer funding for abortion services.

‘Protecting taxpayers from being forced to pay for abortion in violation of their conscience is a principle that has enjoyed historically broad support among Americans, regardless of their otherwise passionately divided views on the topic. It has also been life-saving,’ wrote Diocese of Arlington’s Bishop Michael Burbidge, head of the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities.

Burbidge continued in the letter, ‘Rather than funding abortion, Congress can better serve the common good by prioritizing policies that comprehensively assist women, children, and families in need in ways that will not only encourage childbirth but make it easier to welcome and raise a new child.’

Polls show Catholics to be mixed on legal abortion. 

In 2019, Pope Francis said that abortion can never be condoned, even when the fetus is gravely sick or likely to die, and urged doctors and priests to support families to carry such pregnancies to term.

Speaking at the time to a Vatican-sponsored anti-abortion conference, Francis said the opposition to abortion isn’t a religious issue but a human one.

‘Is it licit to throw away a life to resolve a problem?’ he asked. ‘Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?’

Francis denounced decisions to abort based on prenatal testing, saying a human being is ‘never incompatible with life.’

Even those babies destined to die at birth or soon thereafter deserve to receive medical care in the womb, Francis has said, adding that their parents need to be supported so they don’t feel isolated and afraid.

While one can argue about using medical resources this way, there is value to it for the parents, he said.

‘Taking care of these children helps parents to grieve and not only think of it as a loss, but as a step on a path taken together,’ Francis said.

Francis has spoken out strongly against abortion but also has also expressed sympathy for women who have had them and made it easier for them to be absolved of the sin of abortion.
