(RNS) “We invited the American cardinals to a reception. So unless I’m prepared to join the Eastern Orthodox Church, as a Roman Catholic, I’d better show up or I’ll lose my soul.”
- Vice President Joe Biden, joking Monday (March 18) with Serbian President Tomislav Nikoliv about plans for a reception for the presidential delegation in Rome for the installation of Pope Francis.

Since you CAN NOT BE A REAL CHRISTIAN and support Abortion NO LIBERAL should even bother going to church!
He should be BARRED from this event.

Why do you suppose Joe Biden felt propelled to go to the Pope’s inauguration? He best hope His Holiness doesn’t get a hold to him or he may get what he doesn’t want. TRUTH Being labeled a Catholic doesn’t make it so.

Absolutely what was the Vice President doing there. He should have stayed away. Am not catholic but I wish the pope could have really told what he thought of him. These politicians never stop campaining.
