Was the Catholicism question out of line?

Yes.  They only asked how Catholic beliefs affected their views on abortion, but never how Catholicism affected their views on war, social policy, health care, 47%, etc.

It was a total softball to Ryan, and even though Biden answered it well, it's not really fair to cherry pick an issue that one candidate is clearly more "in line" with church teachings.

Liberal policies tend to lead to fewer abortions, and conservative policies to more.  Thus, anyone who doesn't like abortion should vote for liberal candidates.

I wish Biden had pointed that out, rather than the tired line about agreeing with the church but not wanting to force that on others.  Even Pelosi's truth about popes and theologians historically never agreeing on the beginning of life was better.

Catholic discrimination is a myth, even in Mississippi.  It's as absurd as the persecution complex Baptists and other conservative Christians have.

Forcing people to pay for abortion and contraception when their faith tells them that both are sinful is a violation of their freedom of conscience.

When are you going to bother to learn how health insurance works?

Joe Biden is no Catholic.  You cannot spend 40 years supporting abortion in public office and be Catholic, period.

Being pro-choice doesn't imply support of abortion.

Especially when conservative policies support higher abortion rates and liberal policies support lower ones.

Half of zygotes never implant, so classifying life as beginning at fertilization is pretty absurd. So absurd that 60% of Mississippians rejected it last November...
