November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Nine days of public protest and criticism from medical and professional sources have reportedly forced the Danish government to back down from its plan to impose a special law regarding diseases that are considered to be “ socially critical.

Big Tech is censoring us .

KNOXVILLE , Tennessee , November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Bishop Richard Stika of the Diocese of Knoxville recently denied voter fraud and called for President Donald Trump to concede the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden .
Days later , the bishop commended Richard Nixon for conceding the 1960 presidential election despite what Stika considers the decisive influence of “ deceased ” voters in that election .
Stika ’ s implication that Trump should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fraud allegations is just the latest in a series of apparent shifts in stance regarding Democrat Joe Biden and the presidential election .
On Nov. 12 , Stika tweeted , “ So technically we don ’ t have a President-elect until the states certify the vote and the Electoral College votes .
Until now , it ’ s the national media who have proclaimed the winner .
Just saying ... .
” However , the same day , Stika referred to Biden as a “ head of state ” in addressing a story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On Nov. 15 , Stika praised Richard Nixon for his “ patriotic ” “ love of country ” for not contesting his official loss in the 1960 presidential election , despite the fact that “ history now tells us ” dead voters swung the election in Kennedy ’ s favor .
In 1960 , Richard Nixon lost to John Kennedy by a little more than 100,000 votes .
History tells us now the many deceased in the Chicago area and others determined the election .
Nixon could have contested the election and perhaps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that would be done by this act of contesting the election .
He eventually was elected president twice but unfortunately he lied about the cover up .
Nixon accomplished many great things but they are hidden by the legacy of watergate .
Love of country and not self is patriotic .
Some weeks ago , Stika called Biden to account for supporting “ the ultimate child abuse , ” abortion : “ At your judgement before God , how will you explain changing your position about abortion and how will you explain promoting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protecting the most innocent ?
Will you tell God you supported the ultimate child abuse because of the American Constitution ?
” Another vocal opponent of Biden ’ s pro-abortion stance , Bishop Thomas Tobin of Rhode Island , who riled up liberal Catholics in August for implying that Biden isn ’ t Catholic , also declared that Trump should concede to Biden .
Yesterday , over a week after he congratulated Biden as the “ president elect , ” Tobin tweeted , “ On Sunday , Tiger Woods , winner of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ graciously handed on the fabled green jacket to this year ’ s winner , Dustin Johnson .
President Trump is an avid golfer .
Maybe he should consider that example.
” The Lepanto Institute responded : “ So , one man who cheats his way to defeat another man should be congratulated by the victim ?
” Help stop voter fraud : Project Veritas is accepting voter fraud tips here .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/14/2020) - The vaccine roll out is beginning in the United States, and first responders have been tagged as those likely to be among the first to receive a vaccine. President Trump needs to ensure that this is entirely voluntary. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition, today! _______________________________________________________________________ Early reports suggest that the U.S. military could be first on the list of those ordered to take a COVID vaccine. But, no one should be forced to be vaccinated against his or her will, especially members of the U.S. military! Military men and women, and their families, already sacrifice enough for the safety of our country. Forcing them to take an untested and unproven vaccine, against their will, would violate the spirit of their contract with America. This petition says 'No' to treating our servicemen and women like guinea pigs with an unproven and insufficiently-tested vaccine. Please SIGN this petition to President Trump asking him to declare, as Commander-in-Chief, that members of the armed forces will not be forced to take any COVID vaccine. So far, big pharmaceutical companies have reported casualties and halted trials for a COVID vaccine on numerous occasions: An AstraZeneca COVID trial participant died over the summer.
On October 12, Eli Lilly stopped a COVID antibody trial because of safety concerns.
Johnson and Johnson paused their vaccine trials on October 11 because one participant had an "unexplained" illness.
And, other AstraZeneca trials in the UK were put on hold both in July and September after participants developed a "serious neurological condition that might have been caused by the vaccine." No one, especially in the U.S. military, should be used as a guinea pig for proving the "effectiveness" of any COVID vaccine. Apart from these real health concerns, many military men and women object to vaccines made from aborted fetal cell lines and to other unethical testing, and these ethical considerations should also be honored.

lifesitenews--2020-11-18--State senator alleges Virginia voter fraud in rousing speech

VIRGINIA , November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A Virginia state senator recently said she has “ very good evidence to believe that there is major voter fraud going here in Virginia.
” State Senator Amanda Chase , who is running for the Republican nomination in Virginia ’ s upcoming gubernatorial race , made the comments at a rally in Montross .
“ We saw 169,000 votes disappear off Virginia voter rolls just like that the morning after the election , ” she said .
One week ago , a data scientist tweeted screenshots showing a sudden loss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s vote total at 5:12 a.m. on November 4 .
Senator Chase mentioned Virginia ’ s use of Dominion Voting Systems , a company credited with election day glitches , including vote switches , in several swing states .
She also noted allegations that Chesterfield County , which Democrats claimed to flip this year , barred Republican oversight of the ballot counting process for provisional ballots .
“ That is wrong , ” Chase said .
Chesterfield County Republicans sued an election official after one of their members “ was directed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the consideration of provisional ballots , ” they said .
Virginia allows people to cast provisional ballots if “ the voter ’ s name is not in the pollbook ” or “ the pollbook indicates the person has already voted.
” Chase said , “ I have testimonies from my friends , in Chesterfield , on election day , and have worked it for years , who called me saying , ‘ Fully audit Virginia.
’ ” She added , “ I have people saying that they got their ballot and on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or U.S. Senate candidate.
” “ This isn ’ t just accidental , ” she said .
“ This is an intentional effort to steal [ the ] election from Donald J. Trump.
” She declared that Biden “ is not our president and as far as I ’ m concerned , he will never be my president.
” At the rally , the Chase promoted the Virginia Project , a new non-profit working to fight voter fraud in 2020 election .
The group has “ a team of high-powered attorneys , bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a full investigation , ” according to Chase .
The Virginia Project has a website for people to report fraud that they saw in Virginia .
She told supporters , “ The important thing tonight is this election is not over this year .
The presidential election is not .
If you can ’ t get the vote right this year , next year really doesn ’ t matter , does it ?
” “ I will not let up until we expose the voter fraud that ’ s going on in Virginia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , President Donald J. Trump , ” Chase said .

lifesitenews--2020-11-18--Abortion provider changes name, distances itself from eugenicist Marie Stopes

LONDON , U.K. , November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Major abortion provider Marie Stopes International recently changed its name in an attempt to distance the organization from its affiliation with a eugenicist and Nazi supporter .
The organization now goes by MSI Reproductive Choices .
Stopes wished to eliminate the “ vast and ever increasing stock of degenerate , feeble-minded , and unbalanced … ever weakening the human stock.
” She also supported Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler , even sending him a book of her poems in 1939 .
The Second World War began on September 1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the organization ’ s chief executive , said that Marie Stopes herself “ was also a supporter of the eugenics movement and expressed many opinions which are in stark contrast to MSI ’ s core values and principles.

” Cooke continued , “ Our founders believed that by providing high quality , compassionate and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could support women ’ s empowerment , and their vision is just as relevant today as it was in 1976.
” The British pro-life group Right To Life noted that over £340 million pounds of taxpayer ’ s money had gone to MSI over the last ten years , despite the abortion provider being involved in numerous scandals , including a Care Quality Commission inspection which found “ dead foetuses lying in an open bin and staff trying to give a vulnerable , visibly distressed woman an abortion without her consent.
” Right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ This change in name is deeply disingenuous .
The eugenic abortion of babies with disabilities continues to be perfectly consistent with MSI ’ s principles , and remains a form of discrimination against those with disabilities , or as Stopes herself called them , the ‘ degenerate , feeble-minded , and unbalanced ’ .
” “ A change in name does not change the reality of what Marie Stopes stood for , nor does it change the reality of what MSI Reproductive Choices stands for today , ” Robinson added .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than 4.6 million safe abortion and post-abortion care services to women and girls who turned to us for support , ” according to its annual report .
“ Around the world today , 32 million women are using contraception provided by us.
” In July , another major abortion provider , Planned Parenthood , had announced it was scrubbing the name of its eugenicist founder Margaret Sanger from its high-volume Manhattan abortion center .

Marie Stopes International, now MSI Reproductive Choices, provided ‘4.6 million safe abortion and post-abortion care services to women and girls’ in 2019.

— Article continues below Petition — Canada: Sign the Geneva Consensus Declaration! Show Petition Text 6733 have signed the petition. Let's get to 7500 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition On October 22nd, thirty-two nations signed the historic Geneva Consensus Declaration, including the co-sponsoring nations, the United States, Brazil, Hungary, Indonesia, and Uganda. However, Canada was not among the signatories. Please SIGN this joint petition, from LifeSite and Campaign Life Coalition, urging Canada to ratify the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which will put Canada at the forefront in the fight to protect genuine human rights. The Geneva Consensus Declaration takes a firm stance against invented human rights by saying, "there is no international right to abortion, nor any international obligation on the part of States to finance or facilitate abortion." The Geneva Consensus Declaration further reaffirms: That "protecting the right to life" is an "essential priority."
The "inherent 'dignity and worth of the human person'" and that "'every human has the inherent right to life.'"
That "'the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and state,'" as the Declaration on the Rights of the Child stated. Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition to Canadian MPs, asking them to restore Canada's reputation as a world leader in human rights, and sign the Geneva Consensus Declaration. In the past, Canada had a reputation for supporting conventions and declarations that promote fundamental and universal principles, including the right to life and the centrality of the natural family in society. To that end, Canada signed declarations and conventions supporting the child and the natural family, like the Declaration on the Rights of the Child, in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in 1990. However, in recent years, Canada has deviated from its commitments and its historic role in advancing genuine human rights. Instead, Canada has pushed a marginal agenda focused on newly-invented “rights” that are neither based in natural law nor in any international treaty. Among these are a false right to abortion, a false right to choose one’s gender, and a false right to sexual pleasure for children. Indeed, Canada has become a bully on the world stage, imposing its agenda on traditional peoples in developing nations, promoting abortion, gender theory, and radical sex education. It is time for Canada to stand up for genuine human rights like it once did, especially the right to life, and proclaim that the nuclear family is the basis of society. By ratifying the Geneva Consensus Declaration, Canada would join other nations in upholding these very things, and would recommit itself to safeguarding the rights and principles that it formerly promoted and defended. Please SIGN this petition calling on the Members of Parliament to sign the Geneva Consensus Declaration.

DECATUR , Georgia , November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A Republican election monitor discovered a large discrepancy in the DeKalb County , Georgia , hand count , with a batch of votes labeled to indicate 10,707 votes for Joe Biden , contained , in fact , only 1,081 votes for the pro-abortion Democratic candidate .
David Shafer , chairman of the Georgia Republican Party , took to Twitter to announce this discovery .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Biden would have gained enough votes from this one batch alone to cancel out Trump ’ s gains from Fayette , Floyd , and Walton , ” Shafer argued .
Shafer also tweeted that Republicans were limited to one monitor for every ten counting tables , that monitors were kept at a distance from the tables , and that the miscounted batch had been signed off by two official counters .
Comparing the margin of Biden ’ s victory in the incorrectly labeled batch of votes to those of the fraudulent election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cuban leader Raul Castro , and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il , he said that the Republican party has “ turned over an affidavit from our monitor to the Secretary of State and requested an investigation.
” In response to claims that catching this mistake was “ immediately caught and corrected on the spot , ” Shafer emphasized that it took an argument and “ hours of recounting to correct the error.
” Gabriel Sterling , Voting Systems Manager for the Georgia Secretary of State ’ s office , downplayed the error , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discovered and corrected even without the monitor there to have pointed it out .
“ We have quality control measures that our audit consultants go through on each one of these tally sheets to make sure you didn ’ t transpose a number , you didn ’ t add a zero , you didn ’ t miss a batch , ” he explained earlier today .
He said that Shafer ’ s publicizing of the batch error is “ unfortunate , ” and that releasing interim results “ can be confusing for people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ observers have pointed out that it takes a lot longer for officials in the United States to count and certify votes than for officials in almost any other civilized country .

lifesitenews--2020-11-18--Trump-team lawyer Sidney Powell explains why ballot counting suddenly stopped on election night

November 18 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Sidney Powell , a current member of Trump ’ s legal team and a former federal prosecutor , discussed Dominion ’ s history of rigging elections in foreign countries with Newsmax ’ s Greg Kelly on his Nov. 17 show Greg Kelly Reports .
“ [ T ] he election could not have been more rigged than it was , ” Powell said .
“ We know Dominion has a long history of rigging elections .
That ’ s what it was created to do to begin with .
We ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worked with Maduro—a high-ranking military officer who saw it all happen and explained how it worked—and it ’ s out for the public to see on my Twitter feed.
” “ So , don ’ t tell me there ’ s no evidence of fraud .
We ’ ve got increasingly mounting evidence of significant fraud across multiple states that casts into question the validity of the elections in every swing state , including Nevada and Arizona , Michigan , Wisconsin , Georgia , and it went beyond that too , ” she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then turned to a contract between the California county of Santa Clara and Dominion which , according to item 2.26 of specifications and requirements , allows staff to “ adjust ” the ballot tally based on a review of the scanned ballot images .
Powell also noted that the contract “ had a back door so it could be manipulated by anyone who had access to it through that back door.
” She also remarked that the similarity between the Santa Clara-Dominion contract and the sworn testimony of the Venezuelan military officer is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Venezuelan military officer ’ s affidavit explains how Dominion ’ s software “ was created for that very purpose : so Hugo Chavez would never lose another election .
And he did not after that software was created ; he won every single election.
” Powell disclosed that the officer was “ high-ranking ” and “ very close to Hugo Chavez ” and that he is “ absolutely disgusted with what he ’ s seen and was participating in when he was with Mr. Chavez.
” “ He saw how it all worked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was fully briefed , and he wants this country not to fall prey to the same corruption and tactics that were used in Venezuela , ” Powell added .
“ [ Dominion is ] a foreign company no matter how you look at it , so they ’ ve already violated the President ’ s order against foreign interference in our elections .
Our votes were actually eventually counted in Barcelona , Spain or Frankfurt , Germany on foreign servers , ” stated Powell .
Powell also remarked that the effort to keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absolutely stunning.
” She further stated : “ [ Y ] ou have to realize that every tech company , every media company , every social media company , scads of globalist corporations have been doing business in countries with these dictators that have been installed through this rigged election system for decades.
” She continued : “ The corruption is actually worldwide .
It is going to upset a countless number of elections across this country and around the world .
So , we need to do that to get rid of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fraud claim to any of the states in which litigation has already been filed as soon as we can get the rest of the material together…Witnesses are coming forward every day that are fed up with the corruption in Dominion and in the states and in the counties and in the country , ” Powell shared .
Powell maintains that the sole reason for the “ glitches ” during the ballot counting was because Donald Trump had way more votes than they had calculated for him .
“ Their algorithms wouldn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ originally performed or were set to perform .
They couldn ’ t make up the vote count he [ Trump ] had gotten so many hundreds of thousands more than they planned .
So , that ’ s when they had to stop the counting and come up with a way to backfill the votes or destroy votes for Trump while they fabricated votes for Biden , ” she said .
“ [ T ] he will of the people in this country was that Donald Trump won in a landslide if we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and I am determined to do that , I think we ’ ll find he had at least 80 million votes , ” Powell concluded .

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), yesterday announced a “working group” to deal with pro-abortion Joe Biden as president. The Democrat is a self-proclaimed Catholic who “will support policies that are against some fundamental values that we hold dear as Catholics.”
At the close of the public session of the General Assembly of the USCCB, Gomez mentioned that he had been approached by the heads of various committees to establish “a working group” assessing the situation of a Biden presidency, which was described as being “a unique moment in the history of the Church in this country.”
The group will be headed by Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron of Detroit, currently vice president of the USCCB.
“We are anticipating a transition to a president who professes the Catholic faith,” declared the archbishop, which “presents certain opportunities but also certain challenges.”
Gomez first mentioned some areas where he supports Biden, highlighting “immigration reform, refugees and the poor,” as well as the Democrat’s stance “against racism, the death penalty, and climate change.”
“The president-elect has given us reason to believe that his faith commitments will move him to support some good policies,” Gomez summarized. He referred to Biden as president-elect, even though election results have not been officially certified in all states.
The archbishop then addressed Biden’s support for abortion. “He has also given us reason to believe that he will support policies that are against some fundamental values that we hold dear as Catholics,” he said.
“These policies include the repeal of the Hyde Amendment and the preservation of Roe v. Wade. Both of these policies undermine our pre-eminent priority of the elimination of abortion.”
The Hyde Amendment prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for abortion, with some exceptions. Roe v. Wade refers to the 1973 Supreme Court ruling imposing abortion on demand until birth on the entire country.
Gomez said that Biden’s “policies also include restoration of the HHS mandate, the process of the Equality Act, and the unequal treatment of Catholic schools. These policies pose a serious threat to the common good, whenever any politician supports them.”
Biden has previously expressed his strong support for abortion, saying he would seek to enshrine Roe v. Wade into law. The former Vice-President also believes that “abortion is an essential health care service.”
Biden’s public proclamation of being a Catholic, combined with his support for these policies, “creates confusion with the faithful about what the Church actually teaches on these questions,” stated Gomez, calling the situation “difficult and complex.”
Despite noting a disparity between Biden’s support for abortion and “fundamental values that we hold dear as Catholics,” Archbishop Gomez ignored this issue only a few days previously.
In the November 7 congratulatory message to Biden, when the media called the election for him, the USCCB not only hailed Biden as president-elect but also referred to him as the second “Catholic” president after John F. Kennedy.
The message called for political leaders to show “national unity and to commit themselves to dialogue and compromise for the common good.” It was promptly republished by Vatican News.
At the very end, the message asked the Blessed Virgin Mary for her intercession to obtain “one nation under God, where the sanctity of every human life is defended and freedom of conscience and religion are guaranteed.”
— Article continues below Petition — U.S. Catholic Bishops: Retract premature and offensive statement "congratulating" Biden-Harris Show Petition Text 13406 have signed the petition. Let's get to 15000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) Prior to the election on November 3, the U.S. bishops as a whole did not address Joe Biden’s anti-Catholic position regarding faith and morals. The bishops’ lack of clarity is a scandal in itself and probably contributed to the possible election of a pro-abortion “Catholic” to the presidency. The bishops could have spoken out against Biden’s stance collectively, but they were overwhelmingly silent. Because of this, they will be at least partly responsible for the policies advanced by a Biden administration, in the event that Biden is sworn into office. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition today! Since Archbishop José H. Gomez and the USCCB prematurely congratulated Joe Biden as “the second United States president to profess the Catholic faith,” Gomez has announced that Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron will lead a “working group” to deal with a Biden Administration. Although Joe Biden professes to be a Catholic, he supports policies that directly oppose the teaching of the Catholic Church, including abortion, homosexual “marriage,” and transgenderism for children. “[Biden has] given us reason to believe that he will support policies that are against some fundamental values that we hold dear as Catholics. These policies include the repeal of the Hyde Amendment and the preservation of Roe v. Wade. Both of these policies undermine our pre-eminent priority of the elimination of abortion,” said Gomez. On November 9, Archbishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas tweeted: “A dark cloud has descended on this nation when the USCCB and Planned Parenthood speak in unison in support of a Biden-Harris administration that supports the slaughter of innocents by abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy.” Additionally, Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver, Colorado and Archbishop Charles Chaput have both declared publicly that Joe Biden “should not receive Holy Communion." Unfortunately, Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C. has said that he will give Holy Communion to Biden because “it’s a matter of the responsibility that I have as the archbishop to be engaged and to be in dialogue with him, even in those areas where we obviously have some differences.” Bishop W. Francis Malooly of Wilmington, Delaware and Bishop McElroy of San Diego also congratulated Biden in statements, but they have not indicated whether or not they would administer Holy Communion to him. The bishops should not congratulate someone who has betrayed his Catholic Faith like Joe Biden has. It's an embarrassment and a scandal.

Not to chastise them for their blatant anti-life, anti-family and anti-Catholic views, but to "congratulate" them on "[being elected]"! BUT, as everyone know, the anti-Catholic Biden-Harris ticket has NOT been elected. Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition to the U.S. Catholic bishops telling them to retract their premature and offensive statement on the media's call of the election in Biden's favor. As of the launch of this petition on November 9, NOT ONE STATE has certified the election results. All of the results are tentative and many are being litigated. So, this is not the time for the bishops to falsely assert that Biden "has received enough votes to be elected the 46th President of the United States." That's just not true, and for the bishops to willingly play along with the media's attempt to sweep allegations of voter fraud under the rug, is shocking behavior. And, while Joe Biden may profess the Catholic Faith, he has also stated his support for abortion, homosexual "marriage," and recently, transgenderism for children. For bishops, therefore, to congratulate a traitor to the Catholic Faith like Joe Biden, it requires a disturbing level of arrogance and pride. That is not to say they should stand in judgement. But to congratulate such a man, rather than chastise him, sends exactly the wrong message to the faithful, 50% of whom are believed to have supported Biden in his election bid. Stop ingratiating yourselves to a person who is advocating mass murder! Stop congratulating this anti-Catholic "Catholic." For goodness' sake, grow a backbone and start defending the Faith!

The USCCB had issued the letter while significant evidence was emerging suggesting that voter fraud has in fact occurred in a widespread manner, particularly in crucial swing states.
In spite of his own call for “national unity”, Gomez used his General Assembly address to take a swipe at Trump, comparing the prospect of welcoming pro-abortion Biden, to the then incoming President Trump in 2016.
He commented that “this follows the president of four years ago, when Cardinal DiNardo, then president of the conference, similarly faced a transition to a new administration, threatening grave and imminent harm on critical issues.”
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò issued a response to the USCCB’s November 7 letter to Biden, in which he said that in calling Biden “the second Catholic President,” the bishops have confirmed their complicity in abandoning Church teaching.
“With these words of the USCCB the pactum sceleris [plot to commit a crime] between the deep state and the deep church is confirmed and sealed, the enslavement of the highest levels of the Catholic hierarchy to the New World Order, denying the teaching of Christ and the doctrine of the Church,” Viganò wrote.
