Sen. Joe Biden, a Delaware Democrat who claims to be a Catholic, recently said, "I am so sick and tired of this pontificating about us not being the party of faith. The next Republican that tells me I'm not religious, I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat."
I wonder if Joe is familiar with his church's position on abortion, homosexuality or any other issue. Either he doesn't agree with his religion, or he is ignorant of its teachings.
