Late last year we told you that it was clear the Washington Post would be among media outlets dedicated to having Joe Biden’s back on the issue of religion:
Washington Post: Joe Biden could redefine what it means to be ‘a Catholic in good standing’ https://t.co/P2sj7NMzx9

And now it’s clear that the WaPo is doing some redefining of its own with this take on the Catholic church and President Biden:
A rising group of right-wing U.S. Catholic bishops is colliding with a very Catholic president who supports abortion rights. https://t.co/A351JzqRjB
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) April 28, 2021
Impressive framing, WaPo!
"Very Catholic president who supports abortion rights" is an interesting turn of phrase https://t.co/8w5iyVCkCK

"a very Catholic president who supports abortion rights"
Ah yes, a "very Catholic president" who publicly denigrates Catholic doctrine. Makes sense. https://t.co/kY02Zgkx4w

Fortunately for the Washington Post, making sense is no longer a requirement for “journalism.”
Very Catholic that supports abortion? Do you even understand the Bible?

Supporting the killing of unborn children makes you "very Catholic" to the Jeff Bezos propaganda outlet while supporting the consistent Catholic teaching on it makes you a "right-wing" Catholic. Clown clown clown show over there. https://t.co/gqeXoCv6zp

I'm not Catholic but I doesn't take a genius to see that WaPo is making a mainstream Catholic position seem fringe as they try to twist abortion into a normal position for "very Catholics". https://t.co/mBs1EU11Jj

The bishops are "right-wing" and the president is "very Catholic." Only a moron would call bishops "right-wing" because they're upholding Catholic doctrine and in line with the Catholic Church. AYFKM. https://t.co/noK9i1UIvT

Or: A group of very Catholic US Bishops is colliding with a left-wing president who supports the legality of killing innocent children. https://t.co/JbC5uOF9Yx

No. A "very Catholic" president would:
– Oppose abortion
– Champion traditional marriage
– Condemn communism & socialism
– Fight for religious libertyBecause THAT is Catholic doctrine. Instead, Biden purposely violates it at every turn. https://t.co/yIDFmnWncK

So Bishops who adhere to the teachings of their religion are less Catholic than a President who doesn’t? https://t.co/IkyvnGIKYI

Pro-life Catholics are "right wing."
A president whose administration recently lifted the ban on aborted fetal tissue being used for research is "very Catholic."
The media is beyond pathetic. https://t.co/35fnsCd683

The Post has an interesting track record on such matters:
This you, WaPo? https://t.co/07nQY1p0MF pic.twitter.com/q53gdk3KgF
