Priests 'cease and desist' at Walter Reed MC ahead of Holy Week: here's a solution

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has ended it's contract to Franciscan Catholic priests and friars at Holy Name College on March 31, a few days prior to Holy Week. You don't have to be a Catholic to figure out that this is the most important time of the year for Catholics and it seems cold and cruel to do this to patients at the facility who look to spiritual intervention at a time when they may feel they need it most.

Priests have been administering to these US military personnel for the past twenty years and their beneficiaries at Walter Reed.

“It is incomprehensible that essential pastoral care is taken away from the sick and the aged when it was so readily available,” Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, the head of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, said in a statement on Good Friday.

The facility will contract with a private organization that claims to fulfill the needs of patients. Does this mean that being the Biden administration's woke Defense Department is the spearhead of the move that patients will now be entertained by Drag Queen dance recitals or story hour?

I have an idea about how this godless situation might get solved, but it would require Pope Francis to grow a set. 

All he would have to do is threaten to excommunicate Joe Biden, and mean it. 

Biden claims to be a good Catholic, in spite of his support of killing babies right up to when they pop out into the world. This would put him in a dilemma, and while he might not change course with keeping priests at Walter Reed, at the very least it would illuminate his hypocrisy and just how secular the left has become.

Of course, this would only work if Biden remembers that he claimed to be a practicing Catholic.
