DELEWARE, August 26, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In an interview with Bob Krebs, the Communications Director for the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, to which Senator Joseph Biden belongs, Krebs confirmed that Biden's Bishop will not permit the Senator even if elected Vice President of the United States of America to speak at Catholic schools.
When asked for the Bishop's take on Senator Biden and his stand in favor of abortion, Krebs directed LifeSiteNews.com to Bishop Michael Saltarelli's 2004 statement on 'Catholics in Political Life' which, said Krebs, "very plainly states Bishop's position in this matter."
In that document Bishop Saltarelli notes that, in line with the US Bishops Conference policy, "Our Catholic institutions will not honor Catholic politicians who take pro-abortion legislative positions or invite them to speak at our functions or schools."
LifeSiteNews.com called the diocesan communications director a second time to ask if that specific ban on speaking at Catholic schools or Catholic functions would apply to Biden, even if he became the Vice President.
Krebs replied, "I would say that as long as Senator Biden's stated position on abortion remains the same then it would apply to Senator Biden whether he was a Senator or the Vice President of any type of public figure."

PING!
Liberalism is their religion. That is why it doesn’t faze Pelosi, Kennedy, Biden and the rest of the liberals that spew their for abortion phrases.
Good for him! This has to please the Chief Shepherd.
And Catholicism is to Biden and Pelosi as that great big Bible was to Bill Clinton. A political prop, and nothing more.
the hereafter will be quite a shock to the likes of pelosi and biden....
That is hilarious
Nice to see the Catholic Church standing up against the radical HYPOCRISY of the American left.
Beautiful. And most appropriate.
The abortion issue seems to be taking on a life of its own among Catholics-more so than I can remember in any other presidential campaign and although abortion is not a major issue for me I think the McCain campaign should pick up the ball and run with it
Excommunicate the lot of them.
Picking abortion joe will turn out to be the final nail in barack mcgovern’s coffin. He will go down as the worst VP pick since Tom Eagleton.
