On all sides, President Joe Biden is still subject to a lot of criticism and difficulties. For his careful adhesion to Catholic doctrines, Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C., on CBS declared Biden a” restaurant Catholic” on Monday.
The note was made against the backdrop of the Biden administration’s pronouncement of the” Transgender Day of Visibility”, following a law set by the Obama administration, a shift criticized by the Trump plan and many others as an “anti- Holy act”.
” Like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses aspects of the faith to identify while ignoring or perhaps contradicting another parts”, Gregory said, introducing the name” restaurant Catholic” to describe the leader.
The Archbishop’s critique did n’t stop there. ” There are items that he chooses to ignore or he uses the current position as a social slave rather than saying, look: ‘ my religion believes this, I’m a good Catholic, I would like to feel this,'” Gregory explained.
WATCH:
Biden, who identifies as a Catholic, has faced criticism from various Catholic groups and individuals who believe that his political positions, especially on issues like abortion and same- sex marriage, are at odds with traditional Catholic teachings.
The Catholic Church, which opposes abortion, regards marriage as a sacrament between a man and a woman. Critics, therefore, argue that Biden’s support for abortion access, and his endorsement of same- sex marriage conflict with these teachings, leading to claims of him being a “fake” Catholic by many.
This weekend, the Biden administration followed in Obama’s footsteps and declared March 31″ Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday, giving critics new ammunition.
The Trump campaign’s statement on Saturday,” It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event. It also formally designated Easter Sunday as” Trans Day of Visibility,” according to the Trump campaign. ” Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years- long assault on the Christian faith”.
The White House and Biden’s campaign are facing criticism for appointing millions of Catholics and Christians in America who believe the resurrection of Jesus Christ will be remembered for one reason only, according to Trump’s national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.
Children were also prohibited from creating “religious themed” Easter egg designs for the White House’s 2024″ Celebrating National Guard Families” art event on Easter.
The event was part of the White House’s Easter traditions, which also included the Easter egg hunt. A flyer for the art event, which was open to select children of National Guard personnel, stated that egg designs “must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements”.
Instead, kids were instructed to create eggs with details about their personal lives in mind.  , Children were prohibited from egg designs that promote “bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age”.
Professional artists will handcraft designs from contest winners onto real eggs that will be displayed in the White House. Additionally, the White House stated that “EGGucation,” a theme for the annual Easter egg role, would be the focus.
