Commentary: Catholic Priest Savages Biden for Supporting Abortion

This Catholic priest didn’t mince words. The Rev. William Kosco, who is the pastor of Saint Henry Catholic Church in Buckeye, Arizona, slammed President Joe Biden in a viral homily in early March. “We’ve just recently…

More than refreshing, though, it’s needed.

According to Edison Research exit polls, 52 percent of Catholic voters chose Biden and 47 chose former President Donald Trump in the 2020 general election. That represents an increase of 6 percent from 2016 when just 46 percent chose Hillary Clinton and 50 percent chose Trump.

Essentially, that means the percentage rate of Catholic voters ignoring what Kosco calls basic moral principles is on the rise.

Kosco’s sentiments aren’t exclusively his. The Rev. Chris Alar of Massachusetts called the issues Kosco brought up, including the sanctity of life and of marriage, “non-negotiable.” Alar said these issues are ones which, by the Catechism, the Catholic Church must “pass moral judgments even in matters related to politics” when the “fundamental rights of man or the salvation of souls” deems it necessary.

In his homily, Kosco continued to lambast the president and Catholic bishops, comparing Biden to Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney.

He asked his congregation, “Can you imagine if in 2012, Mitt Romney, who was running for president, Mitt Romney who was a Mormon … when he was running against Barack Obama, if he were a cigar-smoking, whiskey-drinking, coffee-drinking Mormon, can you imagine if he had won the presidency? The Mormon Church would have gone apoplectic!”

Exasperated by the president’s indignancy, he continued, explaining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would have said, “This is not a representation of us.”

Kosco chastised the Catholic bishops who sat idly by as a Catholic president continued to ally himself with abortion providers like Planned Parenthood during the election, saying, “They just let it snow.”

Kosco admitted he’s angry, and he has a complete right to be. While president, Biden has been photographedstripping unborn lives of their only lawful protection during the week and attending Catholic mass on Sundays.

Thankfully, the country has religious leaders like Kosco who will hopefully continue to keep the president accountable for his actions as he continues to debase the morals of the Catholic faith.
