CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Richard Henning of Providence, Rhode Island—who was named earlier this month to become the new Archbishop of Boston—has issued a statement rebuking Salve Regina College for hosting a fundraising event for the Harris-Walz campaign.

The bishop was returning home from a retreat at the time, but his office released a statement indicating that the Diocese of Providence “does not permit Catholic institutions in Rhode Island to endorse candidates for office nor even give the appearance of such endorsements.”
