Joe Biden's Catholic Bishop Won't Deny Communion Over Pro-Abortion Views

Dover, DE (LifeNews.com) -- The Catholic bishop that oversees the diocese where Joe Biden worships says he will not deny the incoming vice president communion over his pro-abortion views. Bishop W. Francis Malooly's decision stands in contrast to one made by Bishop Joseph F. Martino, of Biden's hometown Scranton, Pennsylvania. Malooly, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, is participating in the meeting the nation's bishops are holding this week in Baltimore. He told the Associated Press that he won't ask Biden to withdraw from receiving communion even though several of his fellow bishops have done so. He said he would rather change Biden's opinion on abortion. "I won't politicize the Eucharist," Malooly said. "I don't want to alienate people. I want to change their hearts and minds." Malooly said he spoke with Biden in September on the day before his installation as the new bishop and the two agreed to discuss the issue of abortion and Catholic pro-life teachings at a later date. For his part, Malooly has tried to persuade Biden to change his views and issued a letter in October correcting the senator after Biden misstated Catholic views on abortion during an interview.

Pro-Abortion Biden Claims He's a "Practicing Catholic" In New Ad

In a last-ditch effort to get Catholic voters to support pro-abortion President Barack Obama, Vice-President Joe Biden, who also backs abortion, has released a new web ad. In the ad, he claims he is a "practicing Catholic" and he claims Obama's record matches Catholic doctrine.

"As a practicing Catholic like many of you, I was raised in a household where there was absolutely no distinction between the values my mom and dad drilled into us and what I learned from the nuns and priests who educated me," Biden says. "We call it Catholic social doctrine: "Whatever you do to the least of these, you do for me."" Ref. Source 4

That decision prompted an outcry from Catholics and pro-life non-Catholics alike because of Biden's longstanding pro-abortion record.
