CV NEWS FEED // Catholics and pro-life groups denounced President Biden for making the Sign of the Cross in support of abortion.
On Tuesday, Biden attended a campaign rally in Tampa, FL, where he snidely made the sign of the cross while Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried slammed her state’s legislation protecting unborn babies.
Outraged on behalf of their faith, and concerned for the soul of their president, CatholicVote was among the first to point out Biden’s blatant hypocrisy.
“Biden’s decision to make the Sign of the Cross in support of abortion extremism is a despicable charade that attempts to co-opt a sacred practice in support of his new abortion religion.” CatholicVote President Brian Burch posted to X (formerly Twitter).
“His gesture openly mocks the Christian belief in the sanctity of life,” Burch added. “There is no divine support for destroying the lives of innocent children, and he should know better.”
“Absolutely vile,” Bishop Joseph Strickland posted. “Pray for the soul of our president, he is a feeble old man, he needs to prepare to meet his maker…”
International pro-life organization 40 Days for Life called the president’s actions “shameful.”
The organization’s president Shawn Carney also reacted to Biden’s gesture writing, “The sign of the cross at the abortion rally is cringe but makes sense when you make it your golden calf.”
The Daily Signal’s Mary Margaret Olohan wrote “Biden blesses himself in apparent horror at [Republican Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis protecting unborn babies from abortion.”
Catholic attorney and former Trump administration official Roger Severino replied to Olohan’s post stating, “The sign of the cross is sacred, not a political prop, especially not in support of abortion.”
Catholic pro-life advocate Anna Lulis was quick to spell out the hypocrisy she saw: “No Catholic should ever invoke God to excuse and promote killing innocent children in the womb.”
Students for Life America President Kristan Hawkins called upon her fellow Catholics to point out the lies.
Finally, Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood director turned vocal pro-life speaker, stated that Biden “mocked God” through this action.
