FTA: "United States Conference of Catholic Bishops president José H. Gomez warned Americans in a statement on Wednesday that “we cannot stay silent” on President Joe Biden’s pro-abortion stance. Gomez, who is also the archbishop of Los Angeles, emphasized in a lengthy statement that the Roman Catholic Church neither participates in partisan politics nor identifies with a particular political party. The archbishop said that the church aligns with the Republican Party on some issues and with the Democratic Party on others. “Working with President Biden will be unique, however, as he is our first president in 60 years to profess the Catholic faith,” Gomez said, praising Biden for understanding “the importance of religious faith and institutions.”
