U.S. Vice President Joe Biden attended Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry in Iowa Sunday, and for some reason Biden reportedly had occasion to bring up a rather well-known Catholic saint.

According to witnesses, Biden referred to the revered spiritual figure as "Tommy More, as we Catholics" say.

As you might guess, some Catholics on Twitter have a different view:
