contents Proton-deuteron elastic scattering is considered in the framework of momentum-space Faddeev equations with the screening method for the Coulomb interaction. It is shown how the interplay of the proton-proton Coulomb potential and the deuteron pole in the neutron-proton transition operator leads to coinciding singularities in the Faddeev equation. As a consequence, the renormalization of the scattering amplitude is needed in the unscreened Coulomb limit. This finding possibly explains why no need for the renormalization was conjectured in a previous work [Witała et al., Eur.~Phys.~J.~A 41, 369 (2009)] missing the coincidence of those singularities.
