I don’t care which bishop either Kennedy is subject to....do the tenets of the Catholic faith vary from state to state or city to city?

I am frankly apalled that some other man thinks he has control of my faith. Not what the Bible teaches.

Kennedy as all Catholics (human beings) are subject to God's judgment upon death.

A Bishop or Archbishop is the authority of the Church as the successor to the Apostles of Jesus Christ for a specific geographic area or diocese.

A Bishop has the authority to control the practice of Catholic Faith within that geographic area and can deny Communion, one of the Sacraments of the Catholic Church and could excommunicate a Catholic from the Church.

Why some Bishops do not exercise such authority is above my pay level.
