Title: Patrick Kennedy barred from communion by bishop
Post by: formerlurker on November 22, 2009, 04:58:06 AM
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rep. Patrick Kennedy says Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin has barred him from receiving communion because of his support of abortion rights.

The Providence Journal reports on its Web site Sunday that Kennedy said in an interview that Tobin issued the order during discussions with the Democratic lawmaker, further escalating a simmering ideological dispute between the two men.

Under church rules, Tobin can prevent Kennedy from receiving communion within his diocese, which covers Rhode Island. It’s unclear whether bishops outside Rhode Island will take the same path.

Now if only some other Bishops will follow suit with other "Catholic" liberals that believe in killing babies.

Jesus would have braided up a whip out of reeds and chased Kennedy's sorry, hypocritical ass around the beltway, beating the ever-loving crap out of him.

Strike one.
