Well, they should get along well. Obviously, neither one believes in anything that Holy Mother Church teaches!

- Anthea Butler, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, is a co-chair of the Biden campaign’s Catholics for Biden outreach.
- Butler recently organized a national “Scholar Strike” against racism and called Republicans “craven” and “evil.”
- In 2013, she referred to God as a "white racist."
University of Pennsylvania Professor Anthea Butler is among the Biden-Harris campaign’s “Catholics for Biden” coalition.
The Biden campaign told the National Catholic Reporter that Butler, a professor of Religious Studies and Africana Studies, serves as one of three dozen national co-chairs, with the goal of making former Vice President Joe Biden the second Catholic president in American history, according to Pew Research.
Recently, Campus Reform reported on Butler’s assertion that Republicans are “craven” and “evil.” In a Twitter thread, she said that the GOP is no longer a party, but an “ideology that has merged with the poisonous element of Trumpism” to “kill Democracy and America.”
In the same tweet thread, Butler referred to a “white, male, academic” priest friend of hers, who she said was misguided for wanting to "reach across the aisle."
“Folks, that day is over. We must make sure the Republican party is in tatters after the election," she said.
She also called for her followers to vote, but also to “be prepared like Belorussians to get out in the streets. Because we may very well have to.”
Butler also organized the recent “Scholar Strike,” which encouraged professors across the country to walk away from normal teaching activities on the Tuesday and Wednesday after Labor Day in order to bring attention to racism.
Campus Reform reported in 2013 that Butler referred to God as a "white racist" in response to the not-guilty verdict of the George Zimmerman trial.
Other notable national co-chairs of Catholics for Biden include 2016 Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Sen. Tim Kaine, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, and Democratic strategist Donna Brazile.
According to the Catholics for Biden webpage, Biden “believes that in America, no matter where you start in life, everyone should be able to live up to their God-given potential… regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.” Among Biden’s Catholic policies is an economy that protects the “least of these,” healthcare for all, and a commitment to fighting climate change.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
