President Joe Biden has enraged Catholic Church regulars with his latest show of approval for abortion, a Vatican red line.
On Tuesday in Florida, where he blasted the state’s impending six-week abortion ban, Biden blessed himself with the sign of the cross when the woman introducing him referenced Florida’s shorter window for abortion.
The group Catholic Vote blasted Biden’s actions on X.
“This. Is. VILE! President Biden makes the Sign of the Cross at an abortion rally in Florida! You cannot be Catholic and support abortion! You cannot invoke GOD and promote Death!” the group said.
Catholic Vote President Brian Burch followed up with this statement:
“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. His gesture openly mocks the Christian belief in the sanctity of life. There is no divine support for destroying the lives of innocent children, and he should know better. Biden’s gesture suggests he is either terribly naive, or senile, or callously indifferent to the foundational beliefs of millions of Christians in America,” he said.
At the event, Biden attacked former President Donald Trump, who stood with the anti-abortion movement and backed up his promises to limit abortion by appointing anti-abortion judges to the Supreme Court and lower federal courts.

“This extreme Florida law is going to impact 4 million women in the state,” Biden said in Tampa. “Let’s be real clear. There’s one person responsible for this nightmare. And he’s acknowledged, and he brags about it — Donald Trump,” he added.
Democrats are convinced that the abortion matter and the court’s decision to strike down Roe v. Wade will help reelect Biden and switch the House to Democratic control.
