Question: What is the significance of the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issuing a national statement “On the Inauguration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr. as 46th President of the United States of America?’’
Amid all the hoopla of the presidential inauguration and President Biden’s unprecedented flurry of Executive Orders, Archbishop Gomez’s important statement has not received the serious level of attention it merits.
First of all, when the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) issues a statement representing 75 million American Catholics (23% of the total U.S. population) concerning the first Catholic president since JFK’s inauguration six decades ago, it is an important event. When the statement is filled with as much spiritual substance as Archbishop Gomez’s is, the statement deserves serious study and attention.
Archbishop Gomez, the Archbishop of Los Angeles, acknowledges that working with President Biden on moral, ethical, and social justice issues “will be unique,” since President Biden is only the second “Catholic” president in American history and furthermore, is a man who professes that his Catholic faith is, and has been, very important in his life.
