BIDEN, BARRON and BERGOGLIO: Rockin’ the Post-Catholic World

Do you remember when Catholic bishops and priests were leading the charge in the culture war against ‘sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll’ last century? What happened? To paraphrase another hippy crooner, Pete Seeger, “where have all the Catholics gone?” Last week, Bishop Robert Barron proudly announced on Facebook that he’d made a pilgrimage to the boyhood home of iconic folk rocker, Bob Dylan. Apart from offering further proof that the Catholic Church has surrendered in the Culture War, what’s the takeaway? To answer that question, Michael Matt points to President Joe ‘The Catholic’ Biden’s recent Philadelphia speech in which he declared war on pro-life, pro-family, pro-God Americans.
