Joseph: I read your article about the "first family." Good points, which remain unaddressed by the mainstream media.
You might not be aware that the "devout Catholic" Joe Biden "married" in the United Nations Chapel. Of course, he married Bill Stevenson's wife, Jill Stevenson, who now calls herself Jill "Biden."
As a Catholic, we believe that one cannot marry after one is divorced, nor marry someone who is divorced. The church does allow divorce if it relates to the safety of the spouse or children, but one cannot remarry as long as the other spouse lives. (Just one example is Jesus Christ speaking in Matthew 5:32 Douay-Rheims Bible.)
In Biden's 2007 book, "Life and Politics," Biden says, "Jill and I were married by a Catholic priest at the United Nations Chapel in New York City in June 1977. We hadn't told anybody but our closest friends, we didn't want to tempt the press. The ceremony was family only – but that counted nearly forty. Beau and Hunter stood with us at the altar."
As you noted, Hunter Biden was 51 years old when he denounced his own child. He is responsible for his actions, but one wonders what the Biden children's lives might have been like if only their father had been a man who lived the tenets of his supposed faith.
Biden might learn from G.K. Chesterton who said: "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried."
Keep up the great work.

My 10 minutes of prayer
Thank you, Joseph, for your article "The most important decision you need to make today."
The following is a summary my experience today of my 10 minutes:
It is pretty quiet now except for noises of traffic and the noises of the house.
My eyes are closed.
My head is bowed.
The first thoughts of this moment of my prayer are of a deep, abiding, humble thanks to Almighty God, Jesus Christ His Son and the Holy Spirit for my life today with all my many blessings. Blessings that are not always recognized when daily troubles or challenges fill my mind, distress my soul and unconditionally quicken my steady heartbeat.
In my humble prayer, there is an awesome, deep and abiding thanks for my life in the USA. I have too many blessings to count.
Sadly, God, I often may take my freedoms a bit for granted. For this fact, I am sorry. The United States is a great country founded on Christian principles. With our great country there are many problems today, yet I have so very much to be thankful for each and every day of life here in America!
I am far from perfect, yet God offers me forgiveness. I do make mistakes, maybe too often, but I do not have to live a life of regret for my mistakes. God offers to take my sins away … "Cleanse me, God, and I shall be whiter than snow."
As a country we are not perfect either. May we citizens of the U.S. each turn to You, Almighty God, and give Your country back to your guidance and to your will. May we, the people of the USA, return to You, God, through prayer and through personal (and communal) humbleness with the deep thankfulness for our many, many blessings. Please guide my beloved USA! Guide us in thought, word and deed.
May God bless WND and all the people who are part of WND!
