Vatican City, Jul 7, 2008 / 10:00 am (CNA).- Today Pope Benedict XVI named Bishop W. Francis Malooly to become the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Wilmington in the state of Delaware.

The Pontiff accepted the resignation of Bishop Michael A. Saltarelli, who in accordance with Canon Law, submitted his resignation when he turned 75 years old.

Born in 1944, Bishop Malooly is originally from Maryland.  He was ordained a priest in 1970 and was made a bishop in 2001.  He is currently an auxiliary bishop in the Diocese of Baltimore where he is also moderator of the curia, vicar general, and Western vicar for the counties of Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Frederick, Carroll and Howard.

Bishop Malooly will serve 230,000 Catholics and 214 priests in the Diocese of Wilmington.

Bishop Malooly intends to "build a supportive and trusting friendship" with Biden, while Grand Knight of Columbus Carl A. Anderson wrote an open letter to Biden regarding Biden's stand on abortion.

Shame on priests and bishops who want to have "dialog" with Biden and who want to have a "trusting friendship" with Biden. These same priests and bishops need to be concerned about the right to life, and not be concerned about "building a friendship" with the likes of Biden.

God bless Grand Knight Carl A. Anderson on his outstanding letter to Biden! Bishops and priests around the country need to take note.

I pray Bishop Malooly will approach Joseph Biden and let me know how grave is the sin of advocating abortion through the laws Biden has supported. This is his lost sheep and for the sake of his soul and all catholic politicians who are advocating abortion, they NEED to hear from their Shepherd.
