The President has made decisions to try to balance his policy decisions; stances that have often clashed with his Church-- specifically on abortion and immigration. This has caused him to govern in partisan ways that have led to greater social, political, and moral disunity in the United States.
The first part of this book examines the policy quandaries that arise from the fact that President Biden considers himself a liberal, a Catholic, and a Democrat. That self-identification has challenged aspects of his leadership and governance that have resulted in growing national controversies surrounding his abortion and immigration policies.
Thus, this book articulates Catholic moral and social teachings on these issues, the President’s perceived religious beliefs that often clash with his personal views and values, as well as his opposing political responses to them. It also explains his partisan actions to abortion and immigration that include numerous Executive Orders, appointments of individuals who are unable to help him develop solutions to such critical matters, and his criticisms of the Congress, the Supreme Court, and previous administration officials.
The second part of this book, then, gives examples of how policy difficulties have been overcome by various governments that have also dealt with critical decision-making and agenda options. It provides historical models, management methods, communication strategies, and religious principles that can be utilized to create pragmatic solutions to the problems of immigration and abortion. They can also be implemented by the President while also helping him to instill a sense of unity and justice on these policy issues in the United States.
