Some very interesting and worthy thoughts in this thread. The debate among the Bishops would be interesting to watch.

Biden is only our second Catholic President. The first was John Kennedy. One of the attacks on Kennedy was the claim by Protestants and evangelicals that he shouldn’t be trusted to serve as President because he will be subject to manipulation by his allegiance to the Pope in Rome.

Have Protestants and evangelicals completely abandoned this viewpoint?

I would have expected some on the Protestant side of Christianity to question the Bishops on this issue but I haven’t seen it.

Why would Protestants be concerned?

It is the CATHOLIC church simply following CATHOLIC doctrine with a lifelong CATHOLIC parishioner.

This isn’t difficult.

Why would they have a problem with the Catholic Church drawing a hard line on abortion?

You are still perceiving this situation as some sort of underhanded strategy for the CC to "influence" U.S. policy-making and therefore make Biden choose between his country or his faith.

The problem is, that only makes sense if you believe that the U.S. has some sort of moral imperative to ensure that abortion is legal.
