on the road to Hell

Kennedy: Barred from Communion
A prayer for Patrick

I am in no way proselytizing here, but if the Republican Party stuck to core principles and beliefs in the face of shrieking advocates demanding "growth," as has Rome, they'd own the White House and congress as we speak.

“

WASHINGTON — Providence Bishop Thomas J. Tobin has forbidden Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy to receive the Roman Catholic sacrament of Holy Communion because of his advocacy of abortion rights, the Rhode Island Democrat said Friday.

”

And since it's Sunday, and I've come to recognize my own mortality, I won't gloat that Patrick has consigned himself to an eternity in Hell, however that might manifest itself. I'll pray that he and his ilk stop living self indulgent lives, and start doing the right things for God and Country. Amen. [He's still a Kennedy prick though.]

My own suggested reform was rejected

Scottiebill said...: Rickn8or is right. Pinocchio Pelosi should definitely have the same denial of all Roman Catholic sacraments that Patrick Kennedy was given. I am not a Roman Catholic, but merely a failed Lutheran and pretty much an agnostic, but it is obvious to me that Pelosi is every bit as much deserving of this denial as Kenndey is. Perhaps they both should be excommunicated. Maybe then the Church would get their attention.

Or probably not.; 11/22/09, 1:40 PM
CDR J said...: At last - a bishop who is truly willing to stand up and proclaim what is right. The Democrats will probably condemn him for "interfering with politics", but so be it.
I firmly agree that Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, and all the other CINOs (Catholic in Name Only) should be excommunicated. Of course, the CINOs would strike back by revoking the Catholic Church's tax exemption, even though it would be a religious statement, not a political one.
It would also be interesting when the case went to Supreme Court. A majority of the justices are Catholic!(Roberts, Alito, Sotomayor, Thomas, Scalia,Kennedy) I wonder if they would recuse themselves?; 11/22/09, 2:37 PM

Love the blog, BTW ...; 11/22/09, 3:26 PM

Don't worry, Teddy - you only have 800 more years of purgatory left.

While this is heartening news (to know that at least one more Bishop behaves like a committed Catholic), I would feel infinitely better if the Conference of American Catholic Bishops would cease and desist from engaging in politics (e.g. supporting socialized medicine).

Sorry, guys, but your track record in politics shows that, except for being the only Christian denomination which has ardently opposed abortion (evangelicals join us on this issue, but they are not a denomination (to my knowledge)), the Catholic Churce is wrong on EVERY political issue in which it takes a political position.; 11/23/09, 3:45 PM
