Biden, the country’s first Catholic vice president, has rarely mentioned Barrett by name and hasn’t brought up their shared Catholic faith. Biden’s campaign has spread the word among its surrogates to avoid any mention of Barrett’s religious views, sticking to discussions of how she might rule. We talk about our values,” said Josh Dickson, a former Republican who is Biden’s faith outreach director. But in the 2012 reelection campaign, Catholics were evenly split. The group has been hosting virtual events and phone banking, calling other Catholics to spread Biden’s story and emphasize their shared faith.
