Letter to the Bishops of Delaware

Dear Excellency,

                            As you are well aware of, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware who is a Catholic and a pro-abortionist was elected vice-president of our country. Due to his very powerful and influential position in government, he has given grave scandal before our nation and discredited our Catholic Faith. My question is why the Catholic hierarchy of Delaware took no action against him? You might ask me: what sort of action is to be taken? Is it the act of excommunication utilized in Medieval Times and that really has little or no meaning and effect in our modern society?

                          I would suggest employing the method counseled by Jesus Himself. First, you would call the Senator and have a private conversation with him behind closed doors. Enlighten him as to what it means to be a true Catholic and the basic requirements for remaining one. Explain to him the things that are absolutely incompatible with our Catholic Faith, that give public scandal and which no authentic Catholic is allowed to support, hold or promote. All this could be said with firmness, gentleness and politeness. If you can have him come to an understanding of what being a Catholic is and he accepts your words, and then praised be God. If he refuses to listen, then invite the bishops of the Northeast region to also instruct him on Catholicism and pressuring him to be consistent with the religious beliefs he professes. If he still refuses, then write to the Pope and ask him to send an official declaration on what he needs to do in order to remain in the Church. If he refuses even the highest authority of our Catholic Church, then you have no choice but to publicly declare that he is no longer a Catholic and not permitted to receive Communion in your diocese. You need to protect your flock and the reputation of our Church against this false and obstinate rebellious Catholic who defends child murder. I hope that wisdom and courage fills your heart before this challenging situation in Delaware.

Respectfully yours,

Anthony  Mellace
