Biden's idea of self comes straight from his religion

 A short extract from an article by Diarmuid Pepper in the current issue of The Tablet .

Biden may not be a perfect Catholic, but who among us is? Catholicism can be messy and hard; St Paul was a notorious persecutor of Christians, Blessed Bartolo Longo was once a Satanist, Servant of God Dorothy Day had an abortion.

Trump’s administration was at constant odds with the teachings of Pope Francis; the Pope said many of his policies were “not Christian”, while Trump said Pope Francis was “disgraceful”.

How refreshing it will be to have a POTUS in Joe Biden who says his “idea of self, of family, of community, of the wider world comes straight from my religion”.
