Joe Biden is fond of describing himself as a “devout Catholic.”

Yet, in addition to his administration promoting abortion, they’ve also been behind what can only be viewed as very concerning actions against Catholics, while seemingly not very interested in going after people who have attacked Catholic Churches and pro-life centers.

I reported how the Biden FBI was targeting Catholic churches including “mainline churches” — to reach out to clergy and develop “sources” within parishes to provide information on other parishioners. We also saw how the Biden team cut off clergy for Walter Reed Hospital right before Holy Week. Then there was the effort to go after pro-life people, having the FBI raid the home of pro-life activist Mark Houck with guns drawn in front of his children for allegedly shoving a man who got too close to his young son in front of an abortion clinic.

The Biden team was seeking a lot of time against him — he faced 11 years in prison if convicted but fortunately was acquitted. Meanwhile, the prosecutions of the pro-abortion people on the left who have been attacking churches and pro-life centers have been virtually non-existent.

Now there’s another example of what looks like that two-tiered system of justice again.

The Biden Justice Department recommended no time for Maeve Nota, a trans person who attacked the St. Louis Catholic Church in Bellevue, Washington after the Dobbs decision came down last year. Investigators said Nota was upset about the decision.

A 31-year-old pro-abortion extremist was so mad about Roe v. Wade, he vandalized St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue, WA.

Upon arrest, Bellevue Police allege the suspect busted up a police cruiser.

Nota smashed two glass doors with rocks and spray-painted the church’s outside walls with messages that read, “F— Catholics,” “rot in your fake hell,” “kid groomers,” and “woman haters,” among several other messages.

He also destroyed a statue of the Virgin Mary and caused over $10,000 worth of damage.

When a church employee tried to stop him, Nota assaulted the employee, spray-painting the employee in the face. When the police showed up, Nota resisted arrest, using a backpack full of spray paint cans to smash into the police car.

Police Capt. Darryl McKinney told FOX13 Seattle that the $10,000 in damages fall under a hate crime statute.

According to filings from early March, Biden’s Justice Department hit Nota with the destruction of religious property, a misdemeanor that can carry up to one year in prison and $100,000 in fines.

But instead, the Biden DOJ recommended that Nota get no time and three years probation in a plea agreement. As Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, the difference in the way the cases are handled is stark, comparing this for example to the case of Mark Houck.

1. Father defends son praying outside of abortion clinic?

Biden DOJ seeks 11 years in prison.

2. Deranged trans person damages Catholic Church, assaults worker and police, and terrorizes old lady praying?

Biden DOJ seeks no jail time.@Article3Projecthttps://t.co/aS8XIyGzk8

The Biden team is throwing the basic principles of our Republic and the equal under the law under the bus with their actions. We keep seeing the swift march toward a banana republic as they try to impose politics and their control on everything. Some devout Catholic.
