WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — President Joe Biden has claimed that Pope Francis does not support the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) call for a halt to taxpayer funded abortions.

Fielding questions from reporters yesterday, Biden took issue with the U.S. Catholic bishops most recent move against abortion.

“Catholic bishops are demanding that federal tax dollars not fund abortions,” stated EWTN’s Washington Correspondent.

The staunchly pro-abortion yet self-professed Catholic Biden was swift to contradict this, stating simply: “No, they are not all doing that.”

The president continued, “Nor is the Pope doing that.”

Is it outrageous? What's the Pope telling his buddy ole pal Biden in private?

I wonder if Joe Biden is actually wrong. It's not like Francis will ever come out and contradict Biden and if that is the case and he chooses to remain silent then you can reasonably conclude Pope Francis does agree with Joe Biden.

I wouldn't put too much stock in anything Joe Biden says, especially when he's speaking on behalf of the Pope. I doubt if Biden even knows what day it is or whether he's trying to put his pants on backwards in the morning---he gets confused trying to remember how many States there are in the Union, let alone matters of Catholic theology or policy.
