There’s a fantastic Bible verse that a Catholic of Vice President Joe Biden’s professed devotion to the faith ought to know. Matthew 7:4 reads, “How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?” It’s an especially prescient verse when considering remarks he made today regarding Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget:

Remarkable, really, that he could accuse Ryan of crafting a budget “incompatible with the social doctrine” of the Catholic Church when Biden himself is staunchly pro-choice. The Catholic Church has much to say on the socio-political issues of our day, but it’s most famous for its stance on abortion. One of John Paul II’s most famous encyclicals called for a “culture of life,” in which the sanctity of human life is valued and protected “from conception until natural death.” Throughout his political career, Biden has, time and again, flouted this teaching in the name of “women’s rights,” as though that broad concept could be reduced to the singular — and singularly anti-Catholic — issue of abortion.
