I am convinced that the Bishop of Scranton would excommunicate Biden if he were in his diocese. He is NOT going to be allowing him communion there, for sure.

You know, I have family in the Scranton area...close family. They are all observant Catholics but many of them are old-school union Dems. Some of them are registered Dem only because it isn’t politcally and socially acceptable to be GOP. They were FURIOUS with their bishop for being so “rigid” with Biden.

But when I talked to them, they were clearly conflicted. They KNEW the bishop was right, they KNEW Biden was wrong, but the pull of those unions is strong. I don’t know how they eventually voted, but I can only hope that some of them at least resisted the temptation from the left and listened to their own consciences.

God Bless the Bishop of Scranton!
Regards,
