Three out of five Americans profess a Christian faith. Most of them, numbering about 140 million, or 42 per cent of the US population, belong to Protestant denominations, of which the largest group is the 16 million Southern Baptists. The largest single Christian group, however, amounting to about one in five Americans, is the 70 million Catholics.
Joe Biden is a self-described “Irish Catholic” who attends Mass, although some priests have said they would refuse to give him Holy Communion. His re-election campaign is backed by pro-abortion lobby Planned Parenthood; he is himself “pro-choice” and was bitterly opposed to the overturning of Roe v Wade.
