Everybody\u2019s spiritual journey and relationship with God and their church is their own personal journey, and I don\u2019t try and proselytize\u00a0my\u00a0spirituality on other people. But if you are a devout Catholic, as President Biden claims to be, abortion is a cardinal sin that can do deep spiritual harm to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain went on to note how Biden, even though he claimed otherwise during the campaign, supports the Hyde Amendment, which permits federal funding for abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know the women on this show disagree with me, but as far as I\u2019m concerned, abortion is murder, and that means the government funding of killing of the unborn. And we have to, as pro-lifers, fight for the rights of the unborn, and that is a doctrine that is as old as the Catholic Church itself,\u201d McCain continued.<\/p>\n<p>McCain went on to counter Biden\u2019s position that he personally opposes abortion but does not support imposing his views on others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like saying, \u2018Personally I\u2019m opposed to murder but if you want to murder a little bit it\u2019s fine because it\u2019s not my problem,\u2019\u00a0\u201d she said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t register with me. I don\u2019t get it. So it\u2019s ultimately up to the Church. But he\u2019s walking a very fine line here, and ultimately, all of these issues are literally life and death for Catholics, for devout Christians. And he\u2019s ultimately going to have to talk to his Creator when the time comes, as we all do, and reconcile his politics with his personal faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe he\u2019s doing grave spiritual harm to himself and harm to this country,\u201d McCain concluded.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.353982300885\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CATHOLIC BISHOPS PLANNING REBUKE OF BIDEN?
