In the early days of our nation, you got kicked out of church for a lot less....things like drinking, dancing...

between Tobin, an ultra orthodox bishop, and Kennedy, a son of the nation's most famous Roman Catholic family.
Not too much bias in this bit of journalism. The heroic Kennedy clan against the fanatic bishop.

What? A moral authority holding a politician accountable? UNSPEAKABLE GALL.
Stand by for the shouts of hypocrisy from the left -- the Catholic church has been rocked by its own scandals, which will be the leverage the media will use to try to push back against this stand.
All that is necessary for evil to prevail . . .

Patrick Kennedy; another in the long line of Kennedys who were born on third base and spend their lives thinking that they got there because they hit a triple. How dare a simple church official try to tell him what to do!!!

If the Catholic bishops had done this in the early 1970s, we would not have those faux Catholics like Kennedy working for the Devil.

Too bad Patches didn’t buy Tobin off as his grandpa did with Cardinal Cushing.

The Kennedy family long ago ceased to be Catholic. I believe when Rose Kennedy died, the last Catholic Kennedy died. The ones after that are New Age Pagans. They don’t realize when they take the NAP, they are in danger of “eternal second-hand smoke”.

If only ALL the Priests, Bishops, Ministers, etc would flat out kick them out of the church for NOT PRACTICING their “supposed faith” we might have a chance at stopping the healthcare nightmare from a final vote - it would only take about 10 leaders from senators who actually might think twice if voting for abortions in this healthcare would get them kicked out of church.

At least there is one Catholic with the balls to stand up to the 1st family of baby killing.

Thank you Bishop Tobin. This country is better place because of leaders like you.

Not too much bias in this bit of journalism No kidding. The title says that Kennedy has been "barred from communion"

OK, Catholic bishops: now go after the other politicians masquerading as Catholics and give them a swift kick in the pants too. There are plenty of them, so get started now!
To: kidd
It's a start, but what about the rest of the turds, Kerry, Biden, Dodd, etc.....let's hope the church can show some consistency.
