Joe Biden, the Bishops & Vatican II: The Battle Over the Brand of U.S. Catholicism
Steven P. Millies June 16, 2021
The election of the nation’s second Catholic president excited a brief media frisson in January. All the more because Joseph R. Biden Jr. recruited seven Catholics to his cabinet, this author was caught tweeting that “There never has been a more Catholic administration in U.S. history.” Mr. Biden himself, by his own quiet example, affirms this every day in the way that he talks about politics and the nation. I doubt he could cite the text, but often I think of how deeply Joe Biden seems to have absorbed the teaching of “Gaudium et Spes,” No. 40:
[T]he Church does not only communicate divine life to the human family but in some way casts the reflected light of that life over the entire earth, most of all by its healing and elevating impact on the dignity of the person, by the way in which it strengthens the seams of human society and imbues the everyday activity of persons with a deeper meaning and importance. Thus through her individual matters and her whole community, the Church believes she can contribute greatly toward making the human family and its history more human.
Mr. Biden personifies his generation of Catholics’ understanding of Catholicism as deeply, inextricably entwined with the life of the whole human family, a church that elevates and ennobles every human life simply by being present as a light for the whole world.
"There are good reasons to be worried that the bold experimental spirit of Vatican II, its hope for a church engaged with the world, is at its end."
Joe Biden was 19 years old when Pope John XXIII opened the Second Vatican Council on Oct. 11, 1962. In 1966 Mr. Biden married Neilia Hunter in a just barely post-Vatican II church, saw his first two sons and first daughter baptized in the new church environment and then mourned the loss of his wife and daughter in a car accident. Enduring a dark night of grief in those days, Mr. Biden eventually remarried and with the help of his second wife found his faith renewed in the church to which he remained close throughout the post-Vatican II era as his public profile and his new family grew. As much as many members of his generation (and perhaps more than most), Mr. Biden has a Catholic faith that appears to have been shaped by Vatican II and its optimistic engagement with the world.
The decades since the 1980s have brought a slow withering of the church’s optimism that has seen it settle into a more confrontational relationship to the modern world. Culture wars have signified an era during which Mr. Biden (counterculturally among American Catholics) retained his optimism and his cheerful, public Catholic faith.
When we think of the Biden era now just getting underway in this context, a question presents itself. For all the authenticity and beauty of Mr. Biden’s faith, abortion politics leaves many Catholics in our deeply divided church far from convinced that he is sincere. Moreover, at 78 years of age, Mr. Biden is a man from another time. The world toward which the council turned the church is different. So is the church.
With the Catholic Church now besieged by scandal, financial collapse and an extraordinary exodus of the faithful hastened by the Covid-19 pandemic, there are good reasons to be worried that the bold experimental spirit of Vatican II, its hope for a church engaged with the world, is at its end in these Biden years. Many Catholics could be tempted to indulge hopes that the Biden administration could be a new beginning for the council’s spirit of engagement with the world if Mr. Biden can excite Americans about Catholicism—while at the same time exciting Catholics about the goodness of our political obligations.
It just as easily could be the last hurrah.

Pope Francis endorses Cardinal Marx and his "manifesto" for Church reform
The pope's refusal to accept the German cardinal's resignation further strengthens moves towards a substantial reform of the Catholic Church
By Robert Mickens | Vatican City
Cardinal Reinhard Marx tried to resign but, in the end, Pope Francis rejected the move and instructed the 67-year-old German to continue leading the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising.The news is a major blow to doctrinal hardliners and neo-traditionalists, and everyone else who is a part of the Catholic Church's "no change" crowd.Because Marx is not just any bishop or cardinal. He's one of the most energetic and forceful proponents of ecclesial reform through synodality, a process of wide-ranging consultation of all the Church's members that Francis is trying to make constitutive of Roman Catholicism.And the cardinal's an extremely influential papal aide as member of the Council of Cardinals and moderator of the Vatican's Council for the Economy.He's also served from 2012-2018 as president of the Council of European Episcopal Conferences (COMECE) and until last year as head of the German Bishops Conference (DBK).In short, Reinhard Marx is a big player.And the pope's refusal to let him resign, has only made…

Vatican denies report on Biden-Pope Francis meeting
The Vatican and the US Embassy to the Holy See shoot down bogus news story, saying there were never any plans for the American president to meet the pope this week
By Loup Besmond de Senneville | Vatican City
Archbishop Paul Gallagher, who is effectively "the Holy See's foreign minister", has dispelled a false report that Pope Francis was scheduled to meet US President Joe Biden this week at the Vatican.The British prelate told the National Catholic Reporter (NCR) on June 15 that he had "no knowledge" of such plans for a meeting. And if anyone would know, it would certainly be Archbishop Gallagher.His denial came after several days of rumors that the pope and the American president would meet on the morning of June 15 in the middle of Biden's visit to Europe."President Biden has no plans to visit the Vatican or Rome this week," said the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See.The Catholic News Agency (CNA), a conservative outlet owned by EWTN, reported earlier this month that such a meeting would take place.Then, in an unsigned article published on the morning of June 15, it not only stated that a visit was planned for that very day, but also claimed that Francis had refused a request that Biden be allowed to attend the pope's morning Mass."The Vatican's concern is not to use access to the Eucharist as a political weapon"The Vatican and the US Embassy to the Holy See denied the veracity of the report, which came as the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) prepared to meet for its June 16-18 online plenary assembly.One of the agenda items for the meeting is to vote on whether to proceed in drafting a document on who is worthy to receive Holy Communion.Since Biden's election, the debate over access to communion for Catholic politicians who support the legalization of abortion, has resumed in the United States.These debates are being watched closely in Rome, where they are of concern to some Catholic leaders."The concern in the Vatican is not to use access to the Eucharist as a political weapon," warned papal confidant and Jesuit priest, Antonio Spadaro, in an interview with the New York Times.Diplomatic sources have told La Croixthat a Vatican meeting between Biden and Pope Francis is being considered for the autumn.

With a new billboard, a group presses PA Senate GOP to give abuse victims 'a chance at justice'
J.D. Prose Pennsylvania State Capital Bureau
A child advocacy group has taken out a billboard in Harrisburg to increase the pressure on Senate Republicans to pass a bill to give child sexual abuse survivors an expanded window to pursue litigation against their abusers.
Child USAdvocacy, an affiliate of the Philadelphia-based Child USA, launched the digital billboard Monday to urging lawmakers to pass House Bill 951, which has been in the Senate since early April. It was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on April 21, but has not gone to a floor vote.
Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward has held up the bill, saying she has concerns over its constitutionality and the effect it might have on opening the “floodgates” to civil suits not related to past child sexual abuse cases.
Kathryn Robb, the director of Child USAdvocacy, said the billboard, which asks Senate Republicans to give sexual abuse victims “a chance at justice,” was needed because, “Nothing has been happening on the side of the Senate.”
The billboard also asks Pennsylvanians to join The United Front for Pennsylvania statute of limitations reform, which Robb said 22 other states; Washington, D.C., and Guam have pursued. “What is wrong with Pennsylvania?” she asked.
It was time to “turn up the heat” not only on Ward, Robb said, but on her GOP colleagues. “There’s a lot of bystander apathy,” she said.
Robb had even harsher words for senators who are not pushing Ward for a vote on the bill. “They’re standing shoulder to shoulder with sexual predators,” she said.
Ward’s office did not provide a response to the billboard or Robb’s comments. The legislative session ends this month.
“We’re not going to stop until the Senate does the right thing,” vowed Robb.
Introduced by Berks County Democratic state Rep. Mike Rozzi, House Bill 951 would amend the statute of limitations and give child sex abuse victims two additional years to sue their abusers in civil court.
Rozzi is a survivor of abuse by a Catholic priest, and most of those survivors arguing for the expanded window were assaulted by priests or have relatives who were.
The billb oard comes in the wake of a digital ad campaign unveiled last month by Child USA that targeted Ward and other Senate Republicans in their home districts. It also follows a tense meeting late last month between Ward and a group of sexual abuse survivors in the Capitol.
That meeting lasted only a few minutes before it erupted into shouting and survivors stormed out. Erica Clayton Wright, Ward’s spokeswoman, said some survivors in the meeting threw props at the senator before leaving.
While officials with Child USA decried Ward’s intransigence, Wright said Ward subsequently held a “productive” meeting with some survivors and members from the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape.
