A Catholic voters group launched a $9.7 million campaign against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, targeting Catholic voters in swing states.

Biden, if he is elected, would be the country's second Catholic president and the first since John F. Kennedy.

The group attacking Biden, CatholicVote, is a conservative faith-based advocacy group that takes issue with Biden's position on abortion, among other issues. The group operates independently from Catholic Bishops as a "layperson-led effort" and is organized as a grassroots lobbying organization, according to its website.

“Joe Biden’s record makes clear he will not protect our Catholic values or defend our way of life,” CatholicVote President Brian Burch said in a statement. “For Catholics who cherish the Faith and their freedom to live it, a Biden presidency represents an existential threat.”

The group is launching a $350,000 digital ad campaign in Pennsylvania and Michigan and a video ad.

3. This isn't a church

It’s a group of Catholics.

12. It isn't churches. I am sure the group was launched by the loud mouthed, rightwing catholic

guy that makes frequent appearances on tv.

I really believe that they are wasting money. Any catholic that sees abortion as a red line have voted for a republican for president since turning 18.

2. Time for the churches to pay taxes.

Until then, stay out of politics.

8. If a church did this

They’d be in danger of losing their tax exempt status

[RussellCattle]

4. I'm telling my Catholic, Republican friends that, as they leave the party....

....they should consider leaving the Church too.

5. Crazy

6. Well, aren't they bogus' POS.. they call themselves

"Catholic".. Religious & they want a Psychotic Mass Murdering Fascist Traitor to take over America & the World.

7. My prediction: Pope Francis and President Biden will meet

and there will be a long hug between them. And remember, the Pope is infallible . . . . .

[wryter2000]

10. Yup

I can picture that

[Drahthaardogs]

20. No. Only on matters of faith

And only speaking ex cathedral

[Thekaspervote]

9. When you see their ads clicking on it, costs them $2-5 and is seen less by who they hope will see it

Can’t click more than once every 24 hrs, or the computer algorithms catch on

[RussellCattle]

11. Someone explain to them that the $9.7 million would be better spent....

....in aiding abused (unwanted) children. You know, former fetuses.

13. Evangelical rightwing nutjobs funded by dark money ie GOP

Brian Burch is the President, he is on Right Wing Watch:

14. Trump, is just their kind of guy, cut from same piece of cloth. Grab them by the pussy! n/t

[RKP5637]

15. They don't give a damn about the kids, they just want their hate group! It's what

binds them together. Abortion is a bonding agent for them.

16. So the IRS will be all over this.

As a 501(c)4 tax-exempt organization, there are two specific requirements:


To be tax-exempt as a social welfare organization described in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 501(c)(4), an organization must not be organized for profit and must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare.

So I guess they'll be shut down within days by the IRS.

17. This rogue group is also

Against the Pope. They are not Catholics nor followers of Christ.

Excommunication is called for.

18. Trump supports child sex-trafficking Maxwell, assistant to Epstein.

Trump supports child sex-trafficking Maxwell, assistant to Epstein.

This Catholic group shows their values.

[struggle4progress]

19. It seems to be a political group that wants to lure conservative catholics to the

rightwing evangelical political matrix
