Friday’s Religion News Roundup: Biden meets Ryan, Romney meets Graham, the Jewish Indy meets justice

| | Comments (0)

If you missed the Thrill in the Ville last night, you can catch up on the Catholic smackdown between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan in our roundup of tweets from the VP debate.

A full transcript of the debate is here, the video's here, and WaPo has a good distillation of Ryan and Biden dissecting Catholic social teaching and abortion here. Our own Mark Silk offers his analysis here.

Mitt Romney stopped yesterday to meet the old man on the mountain, Billy Graham, yesterday in N.C. Graham's statement afterward skirted as close to an endorsement as we've seen:

"I hope millions of Americans will join me in praying for our nation and to vote for candidates who will support the biblical definition of marriage, protect the sanctity of life and defend our religious freedoms.”
