(CNSNews.com) - White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at her press briefing on Wednesday afternoon that President Joe Biden “has a very personal relationship with Pope Francis.
Earlier in the same briefing, when asked whether President Biden agreed with Pope Francis that abortion is murder, Psaki had responded that Biden “believes in a woman’s right to choose.”
At the briefing a reporter asked Psaki: “You talked about the issues the president will talk about with the pope. Can you talk a little more personally about the president’s approach? Does he have any sense of the history of being only the second Catholic president meeting the pope or have we reached the point where that’s just another routine meeting?”
“Well, I think the president’s faith, as you all know, is quite personal to him,” Psaki responded.
“His faith has been a source of strength through various tragedies that he has lived through in his life,” she said.
“Many of you who have served on pool duty know that he attends church every weekend and certainly I expect he will continue to do that,” she said.
“So, the fact that this is, will be his fourth meeting, he has a very personal relationship with Pope Francis,” Psaki said.
“We certainly expect it to be a warm meeting and I would say, yes, George, it absolutely has personal significance to him in addition to being an opportunity to discuss the range of issues--poverty, combating the climate crisis, ending the COVID-19 pandemic--where there is alignment and the ability to have deep substantive discussions.”
Get Ready for the White House to Milk the Pope Visit

President Biden is scheduled to meet with Pope Francis in Rome on Friday. For the pope, it will be routine: he meets with heads of state all the time, and he has no compelling reason to meet with Biden. The reverse is not true: Biden is in trouble with U.S. bishops and needs to milk this event for all it's worth.
When Biden, who identifies as a Catholic, was elected, his stark departures from serious Catholic moral teachings gave many of the bishops pause.
The White House knows that the president will be on the minds of the bishops when the USCCB meets in a few weeks in Baltimore. It is in their interest, then, to put a happy face on the meeting with the pope. The optics are critical: pictures of the two men smiling and shaking hands will be posted everywhere.
To what end? It's a defensive strategy. This will enable the Biden team to argue that although some of his policies depart from, or undercut, Church teachings, they are of no real consequence.
Biden is not only pro-abortion, he has become increasingly more rabid in his support for abortion rights the older he gets. For most of his career in politics, which spans a half-century, he at least put the brakes on his support for publicly funded abortions. No more—the brakes are shot.
Biden not only supports gay marriage, he officiated at one. And as president, he has shown his contempt for the Church's teaching on gender ideology, even going so far as to promote to admiral a man who falsely claims to be a woman. Worse, the president refuses to label sex transition surgery on minors as child abuse.
When it comes to religious liberty, Biden has taken several steps to undermine it, the most egregious example being his support for the Equality Act. If it were to become law, the federal government could arguably order Catholic hospitals to perform abortions.
So what are Biden and Pope Francis expected to discuss when they meet? COVID, climate change, and poverty. It doesn't get much safer than that. These are three subjects that are easier to oppose than resolve. In short, the White House has seen to it that the issues which divide the pope and the president—marriage, the family, sexuality, religious liberty—will not be on the agenda.
The White House hopes that the staged image of Biden and Pope Francis together will weaken, if not neuter, criticisms by the bishops of the president. They certainly don't expect the president to fall in line with the teachings of his religion. That would cost him the goodwill of his secular base of supporters, and that is priority number one.

March for Life Announces ‘Equality Begins in the Womb’ as Theme for 2022 Rally
(CNS News) -- The March for Life announced “Equality Begins in the Womb” as its theme for the 2022 rally in Washington, D.C. during a Wednesday briefing at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
The March for Life is a rally and march that protests abortion in the United States. The march occurs annually on or near the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Jan. 22, 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. (The 2022 march is on Jan. 21.)
“We want to expand this debate, this rigorous debate, about equality to include unborn children, who are often overlooked because they cannot speak for themselves,” said Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund.
The briefing featured a panel of speakers who addressed the importance of the March for Life and the relevance of its theme scientifically, legally, and culturally. This year’s march will occur within weeks of the Supreme Court’s hearing of the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Dec. 1, 2021.
The Dobbs case will determine the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of gestation. If the Supreme Court allows the law to stand, it will upend Roe V. Wade, which sets fetal viability at roughly 24 weeks into pregnancy (six months), a time beyond which states heavily regulate abortion.
“It’s going to be one of the most significant years, I think, for the march yet,” Carrie Severino, chief counsel and founder of the Judicial Crisis Network, said at the briefing.

Severino addressed the inscription on the Supreme Court building that reads, “Equal justice under law,” and how the Dobbs case provides an opportunity for the justices to fulfill that promise to the unborn.
“Hopefully, we’ll have some good news in June that will move us in the right direction and continue to promote that equality under law that the Supreme Court is supposed to stand for,” Severino said.
Because of vast improvements in ultrasound technology since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, members of the scientific community now hold more physical evidence as to why babies should not be aborted after 15 weeks.
“Justice Blackman wrote in his Roe decision that, at that point in the development of human knowledge, there was simply no consensus as to the question of when life begins,” Dr. Grazie Christie said. “Perfectly apparent now to the justices sitting on the court, to all of us, to the wider public, is the liveliness and humanity of babies at 15 weeks of gestation.”

Christie, a radiologist and policy advisor with the Catholic Association, explained how ultrasounds provide scientific evidence that a fetus has a heartbeat, working organs, and human features at 15 weeks of gestation.
“It is high time to re-examine the premise of Roe, a case based on a claim about science,” Christie said.
Ryan Bomberger, CCO of The Radiance Foundation, addressed how the Supreme Court has correctly overturned precedent when it is found to be wrong, and they need to do the same with Roe v. Wade if they are going to strive for the equality that is granted to all people under the Constitution.
“Minor v. Happersett was settled law, Dred Scott was settled law, Korematsu v. United States, I mean the list goes on and on,” Bomberger said. “When settled law is wrong, change it.”
Bomberger acknowledged that changing the law and the hearts and minds of the American people regarding abortion has been the mission of his life and the March for Life, which is why he’s passionate about fighting for the idea that “Equality begins in the Womb.”
“Human rights begin when human life begins,” Bomberger said.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY: FREE ABORTION, OPEN BORDERS, NO LEGAL NEED APPLY AND BOTTOMLESS BANKSTER BAILOUTS.... THEY CAN'T DESTROY THIS COUNTRY FAST ENOUGH
Warren: SCOTUS ‘an Extremist’ Court Willing to ‘Take a Shot at Roe v. Wade’
This week on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) slammed the U.S. Supreme Court as an “extremist court” that was “out of step with the American people.”
Host Jonathan Capehart aired a clip of a Democratic Texas state representative lamenting that the Supreme Court was acting like abortion was “an issue that we need to vacillate over.”
Warren agreed and argued that “70% of Americans” want Roe v. Wade to “remain the law of the land.”
“Look, the court has signaled 40 different ways that it is an extremist court, out of step with the American people, and that it’s willing to line up and take a shot at Roe v. Wade,” Warren outlined. “Now, whether they’ll get rid of it entirely or just let the states continue to chip at it, come on. They’ve given us every possible signal. But for me, what that means is it’s time for Congress to step up.”
She continued, “The American people strongly support Roe v. Wade. About 70% of Americans say they want that to remain the law of the land. We don’t need the Supreme Court to do that. The United States Congress could do that. When 70% of the people support something, by golly, I think we ought to get out there and get it done.”
