I contacted Joe Biden’s Diocese (pro-life office) by email to inquire whether the Bishop will be issuing a statement concerning Biden’s public sin and scandal to the Church.

This was the response.

“As there will be a new bishop in Wilmington as of Sept 8, I cannot answer your question.”

Looking forward to Sept. 8...

Sadly, I am not optimistic that Niederauer will rise to the challenge.

Ditto. I'm almost expecting him to issue a perfunctory statement along the lines of "Yes, Speaker Pelosi has misstated the position of the Church on this one issue, but that doesn't diminish all of the wonderful things she does for immigrants, the working poor, equal opportunity, etc."

“Now I want to here from the Rest of Catholic Hierarchy across the Country. Before the Elections.”

At the minimum. This should be carried out indefinately and hopefully lead conversions in the heart of these hard-hearted politicians - or denial of Holy Communion - if they don’t.
