CRUX: Joe Biden’s Catholicism is a visible component of his political persona

An interesting article in "Crux".  It says that if it was not for the Catholic support, the Affordable Care Act would never have been enacted into law.  Good work, Catholics!  Later in the article, it mentions Joe Biden, including the excerpt below.  You can read the whole article through the link.

Joe Biden’s Catholicism has been such a visible component of his political persona that analysts sometimes describe Democratic voters who also claim the faith as “Joe Biden Catholics.” I fully expect that association to continue through November - at the very least, I think we’ll hear Biden repeat his favorite Kierkegaard quote (“Faith sees best in the dark”) more than a few times.
Targeted faith outreach has already played a role in Biden’s campaign, much of which echoes the efforts Obama mustered in 2008 that I chronicle in the book. Just as Obama aggressively courted black pastors in South Carolina, Biden was one of the first Democratic candidates to hire a faith outreach director for the Palmetto State back in August 2019. Four months later, he was already boasting endorsements from more than 100 faith leaders in the state.
