Bill Donohue's criticism of Biden pick for Vatican ambassador shows only his own narrowness
Bill and company are best ignored, but they are correct on what constitutes being pro-life as their side sees it. Democrats who call themselves pro-life need to be honest on whether they would ban abortion or neither side will trust them (nor should they). It is the role of the ambassador to the Holy See to communicate the views of the United States, not American conservative Catholics.
It is about time we had an ambassador who will call out the bishops Rome appoints for their partisanship. This is especially the case when a politician is denied Communion for acting in accordance with the Constitution. The word for doing so is sedition. It becomes a diplomatic issue when the seditious person is appointed by a head of government. It is ironic that the objections to Catholicism leveled against Catholics of a prior generation have been realized in conservative bishop's attacks against other Catholics.
