Fr. Martin . . . again
Fr. Dwight Longenecker
Thursday, August 13, 2020
Bishop Thomas Tobin tweeted a brilliant quip: “Biden-Harris. First time in awhile that the Democratic ticket hasn’t had a Catholic on it. Sad.” Fr. James Martin, SJ replied: “Mr. Biden is a baptized Catholic. Thus, he is Catholic.” Fr. Martin likes this tactic. He’ll tweet, for example, “Bishop Goebbels of Beerstein has given his support for same sex marriage. This is a first for LGBTQ Catholics.”
