U.S. Catholic Bishops rebuke of U.S. President Joe Biden
June 22, 2021
Joe Biden is the U.S.A.'s second Catholic U.S. President. The first was J.F.K. The U.S. Catholic Bishops are rebuking Joe Biden for his liberal views on abortion. I believe that the U.S. Catholic Bishops are using the "Wedge Issue" of abortion to fire up the conservative cultural Catholic movement that pits conservative Catholics against other Catholics and many non-Catholics. I believe that the conservative cultural Catholic movement is wrong because it takes away from all of the good deeds that the Catholic Church does in society and the world. The Catholic Church works for social and economic justice, they fight for the poorest and neediest people who need our help and don't have a voice, they educate the masses with their over 2,000 years of wisdom and moral beliefs, and they spread the word of Jesus Christ. I believe that if men, which compromise ALL of the top leaders of the Catholic Church, do not want abortion, then men should not have sex with women unless men are willing to sacrifice at least 20 years of men's time and money to provide for the mother and the child. Men should be taught about birth control, and that there is no form of birth control that is 100 percent effective to stop a woman from becoming pregnant. All it takes is for a man's sperm to reach and fertilize a woman's egg for a pregnancy to occur. I have no faith in Joe Biden because he is a Swamp career politician of nearly 50 years who used his power and money (mostly from China via alleged money launderer suspect Hunter Biden) to become the 46th U.S. President after running for the Oval Office since 1988, or for the past 32 years. Joe Biden has killed tens of thousands of energy jobs in the U.S.A., and he has had record level inflation by spending $6 trillion federal tax dollars in his first 100 days in the Oval Office, while still pushing to spend trillions of dollars more on his infrastructure and jobs legislation that is being held up by the Republican U.S. Senators' use of the filibuster, plus he filed a $6 trillion fiscal year 2022 federal budget proposal with U.S. Congress. In closing, I wish the Catholic Church would stop its conservative cultural Catholic movement once and for all, and instead focus on helping and educating the poor while spreading the word of Jesus Christ. I wish Joe Biden would stop killing so many American energy jobs, and be realistic and stop spending record amounts of federal tax dollars that is contributing to record high levels of inflation in 2021.

Hello Patrick Fennell,
I agree with you that Joe Biden is not supported by the Catholic Church for his positions on reproductive rights, especially his support for abortion. But the Catholic Church itself is a display of moral hypocrisy and patriarchal hierarchy where Catholic women are systemically second class citizens who are not allowed to be Priests on up to the Pope.
I respect the Catholic faith, but my views on human nature and human behavior are more lenient and different than their rigid beliefs. For example, young men need to masturbate as a matter of their health, and when a young man tries not to masturbate, he ends up walking around with an erection and/or having wet dreams with ejaculation(s). Yet, the Catholic Church still teaches young men that masturbation is a mortal sin. Women need birth control for their health and reproductive needs, and abortion is more often a medical decision than a birth control decision for women. Yet, the Catholic Church teaches women that because sex is a mortal sin, that women must forgo their reproductive healthcare decisions, which could even lead to their deaths. The Catholic Church has engaged in decades-long coverups of its own sexual abuse scandals that have caused great harm to many thousands of sexually exploited churchgoers, especially young children. Yet, the Catholic Church targets pro choice politicians such as John Kerry and Joe Biden instead of keeping their own house in order. John Kerry and Joe Biden should be the least of the Catholic Church's worries.
To answer your question if we were better off during the Trump administration than the little over 8 months of the Biden administration, I believe that both administrations were/are failures in presidential leadership. Trump's deficit spending added $8 trillion to the U.S. national debt in 4 years, while Biden's deficit spending will add between double to triple that red ink-filled financial figure. Trump was better on energy and inflation, but worse on foreign relations, especially with Iran but also with our closest allies in Europe. Both Trump and Biden are horrible racists. Trump's "Grab women by the pussy" hot mic remark and other sexist remarks against women were terrible. I wish neither Trump nor Biden were/are presidents!
Best wishes,
Jonathan Melle

Peter G. Arlos
"The biggest challenge Pittsfield faces is putting its fiscal house in order. The problem is that doing so requires structural changes in local government, many of which I have advocated for years, but which officials do not have the will to implement. Fiscal responsibility requires more than shifting funds from one department to another. Raising taxes and fees and cutting services are not the answer. Structural changes in the way services are delivered and greater productivity are the answer, and without these changes the city's fiscal crisis will not be solved."
James M. Ruberto
"Pittsfield's biggest challenge is to find common ground for a better future. The city is at a crossroads. On one hand, our quality of life is challenged. On the other hand, some important building blocks are in place that could be a strong foundation for our community. Pittsfield needs to unite for the good of its future. The city needs an experienced businessman and a consensus builder who will invite the people to hold him accountable."
