  • Chris Mathews is wrong, it is not the job of the clergy to resolve this matter. the bishops are simply making a teaching statement. "it is a moral evil to have an abortion because the life of an innocent is being taken" People of the United States what are you going to do about it. bum that is it. As pastors of the flock if a bishop sees or hears somone in his flock saying or doing something that goes against the law of god it is their duty to bring that person into reason, the Kennedy case.

  • the moral obligation to protect the life of the innocent. It is up to societies and governments to pass laws that protect their future citizens, this is no a theocracy. Chris Mathews new this and I think he took adventage of it. This was not very honorable on his part.

  • This bishop is contemptible! John Kennedy had it exactly right---and yet he twists and distorts Kennedy's words. If it were up to this bishop, the U.S. would be a theocracy. This bishop's arrogance is part of the reason for the clericalism that led to the pedophilia scandal. Terrible!

  • The Kennedy case is a good example a "catholic " politician says something like yea I think that if women want to have abortions they are in their right. Well this politician is condoning murder. This politician already incurred into the realm of god, therefore it is the duty of a bishop to tell the member of his flock that he is incurring in grave sin and that as catholic he has to change his view on abortion. The politician second duty as a christian is to love his neighbor, therefore he has

  • Patrick kennedy & his cousin are rapist.  chris mathews is defending a rapist.

  • chris matthews is an  idiot.

  • @tonygem Ha! Really now?? As much as Muslims?? 

  • And this is bullshit, why can't you be religious and political at the same time? They're both so similar in bullshit like denominations...

    I don't see the big difference between being political for religious or secular reasons. I'm against abortion, not for religious reasons. Religiously it doesn't matter either fucking way based off my beliefs, but there are moral and practical reasons to oppose it, at least as it stands today. So what? We can only have secular motivations?

  • Does Chris Mathews want that bishop to write an anti-abortion bill on live television? If not, then what the fuck is he getting at?

    Sure... I could make some sort of arbitrary law off the top of my head. Any woman that has an abortion be fined 5000 dollars, any person caught giving an abortion fined 10,000.

    Now fucking move on Chris Mathews, and get off Kennedy's dead dick.

  • GOOD JoB Chris!
