MOSCOW, Russia (LifeSiteNews) – A Russian Orthodox Bishop (*) has suggested that the current President of the United States “cannot call himself a Catholic.”
Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev made the remark during an October 30 interview with the Russian television program Church and Peace.
“When they talk about the Catholic Biden, I always want to ask the question:`What, in fact, is Biden’s Catholicism?’” the Russian Orthodox prelate said.
“The Catholic Church is against abortion, and Mr. Biden is for it. Does he do it as a Catholic or as the President of the United States? Does he do this proceeding from the dictates of his conscience or proceeding from the political situation?” he asked.
“A person cannot call himself a Catholic, and at the same time violate and call for violation of the fundamental norms of Christian morality.”
