DC archbishop jabs Biden as 'cafeteria Catholic' who 'picks and chooses' for his 'political advantage'
Fox News
Washington, D.C.’s Catholic archbishop deemed President Biden a "cafeteria Catholic" for picking and choosing parts of the faith that are "attractive" while "ignoring" other aspects that are more "challenging."
"I would say that he's very sincere about his faith. But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts," Gregory replied. "There is a phrase that we have used in the past, a 'cafeteria Catholic,' you choose that which is attractive, and dismiss that which is challenging." Yael Halon is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
