We need more Bishops like this. These politicians feel that they have authority in the Church, this is not so. They are causing scandal in the Church by leading the faithful into believing that abortion, contraception, and divorce should be allowed. To be Catholic is to be a follower of Christ in your personal and daily life. The Church is NOT a democracy, Americans need to know this, and you have no right to try to change an infallible teaching of the Church.
In America, no citizen is obliged to have religious or moral beliefs to serve in elected office. But elected officials claiming to have religious or moral beliefs, are obligated to act and vote consistent with their claimed beliefs to worthy of any credibility, trust, or respect.
Patrick Kennedy doesn't have to vote in defense of unborn human life to be member of Congress. But he does have to vote that way to be a member of the Catholic Church. Shame on him for forcing Bishop Thomas Tobin to publicly remind him of something even a child can understand. Bishop Tobin is not telling Cong. Kennedy to vote like a Catholic. He is basically telling him to stop pretending to be one.
i really hope those roman catholic priest band all those republicans & blue dogs democrats who does not want to support a public health care option for all Americans, since they i saying they stan for that and are in favor of it (I hope the priest put their money where their mouth is especially the priest that denied kennedy communion
People who are sincerely pro-life should be doing everything they possibly can to pass health care insurance reform so that people who need immediate medical attention can afford it.
oops lost connection when he was making a point..

Thomas Reese is a fool and someone who has used his faith to earn wealth from those who believe his nonsense.

@Jrunri why because he supports actually following the Catholic morals?

Let Tobin search Nell McCafferty on youtube.
Tobin's bullying, power-mongering, selective bullsh*t needs fear the kind of reaction displayed by this gramma.
