America Isn’t Sacred, Only God Is

Joe Biden seems confused about what’s sacred. In his first address since dropping his re-election bid, he used the word four times, referring to the Oval Office, the task of “perfecting” our nation, the “cause of our country,” and the ideals of our founding documents. Perhaps being a Catholic priest makes me more alert to the word, but its appearance in a political speech seemed odd. The aforementioned may be important, praiseworthy and deserving of respect. None are sacred.
