Sen. Biden Misses Installation Mass of New Bishop of Wilmington; Bishop's Homily Includes Strong Pro-Life Statement

Thomas Peters of American Papist reports that Sen. Biden skipped town yesterday as the new Bishop of Wilmington, Fran Malooly, was being installed.

Unfortunately, that means Sen. Biden missed out on Bishop Malooly's homily, which included this:

... Mary’s mother, St. Anne, carried a very special life in her womb which serves as a vivid reminder that every life is special. We will continue to stress the constant teaching of the Church that each person must respect every life from conception to natural death. And we will continue to seek the intercession of Saint Thomas More for Statesmen, Politicians, Supreme Court Justices, Judges and Lawyers—that they may be courageous and effective in defending and promoting the sanctity of human life, the foundation of every human right, the foundation of our love for the poor.
