Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, said that President Joe Biden makes a “mockery of our Catholic faith” by using sacred symbols while promoting abortion.In reference to Biden’s recent use of the sign of the cross at a Florida abortion rally, Bishop Paprocki accused him of “mocking the gesture” by employing it to promote something evil, and “that’s what makes it sacrilegious.”
As Breitbart News reported, Biden, who identifies as Catholic, made the sign of the cross on April 23 while Florida Democrat Party chairperson Nikki Fried railed against the state’s six-week abortion limit.
The 81-year-old president crossed himself, a Catholic practice meant to symbolically indicate the figure of Christ’s cross while naming the three persons of the Holy Trinity, just as Fried decried abortion restrictions.
“To misuse this sacred gesture is to make a mockery of our Catholic faith,” Bishop Paprocki said in a May 8 video — which has since gone viral — posted on the diocesan YouTube channel.
