"If I’m the nominee, Republicans will be sorry," said Biden, a Roman Catholic who ran for president in 1988. "The next Republican that tells me I’m not religious I’m going to shove my rosary beads down their throat." [Source]
The question is not whether he is religious or not. The question would be as a Catholic is he faithful to the teachings of the Church or not. A 17 percent pro-life voting record and support for same-sex marriage doesn’t exactly point to faithfulness. Hopefully me might find another use for his Rosary then simple assault or to at least use the Rosary as a weapon in intercession against the culture of death.

The Esophagus Mysteries
You are too funny Curt Jester!
🙂
When will they understand that we don’t care how many rosaries they carry with them on the campaign trail, but that we care about how they vote on issues.
I see two Catholic Wonderboys on this list that didn’t even have the courage to show up for the vote:

Is not the first Esophagus Mystery, “The Crowning With Horns?” If so, Biden is certainly no hypocrite, but true to his master.
I didn’t find the Curt Jesters comments funny, I found them well said. I’m sick of Republicans who say they’re Catholic and then never show it. Biden probably doesn’t even have a rosary, but then if he does have one it’s probably dusty and in the back of his sock drawer underneath his condoms. Ya, he’s a political Catholic alright.
I think you’re referring to the “Esophageal Mysteries,” of which there are only three.
1. The Execution of John the Baptist (Mk 6:17-29)
2. The Yoking of the Disciples (Mt 11:29-30)
3. The Return of the Prodigal Son (Lk 15:20)
4. The Fastening of the Millstones (Mk 9:42)
5. The Stiffening of the Necks (Act 7:51)
er, um, five. There are five.
Hey Joe. Bring it on, baby!
If you’re going to shove your rosary beads, I’ll shove back with the official teachings of your church. 17% pro-life voting record? Joe, you’re either ignorant or a hypocrite. Which is it, Joe?
Which is it, Joe?
I think this is a case of both/and rather than either/or.
I have threatened that the next neon-pagan who tells me “there’s no such thing as Christian magic!” will have The Long-Lost Friend shoved down his throat. After all, something that doesn’t exist can’t hurt him.
I want to see one of them neon pagans.
Well, he certainly sounds religious, what with the nutcase threat and the forcing of his own tradition upon others.
Heh, next time Biden claims to be Catholic, a bishop ought to shove a CCC down his throat. What a moron.
Poor foolish Mr. Biden. A mere Rosary in the throat is no match for the Catholic’s ultimate weapon: a yardstick-wielding nun! Heck, even a geriatric usher with one of the long-handled collection baskets could take him on.
Hmm, Jules mentions the “forcing of his own tradition upon others” as the halmark of religion. If by that you mean we use forceful argument to prevent the killing of the unborn, handicapped and elderly, then yes, we’re forceful. And we hope it sticks in your gullet everytime we use forceful argument to defend the most helpless.
