Saw on a news channel crawler this a.m. that Kennedy has announced that his bishop has barred him from receiving communion. As if that’s a bad thing. Kennedy ... dude ... he’s protecting you!!!! If you receive the host in a state of mortal sin you’re making matters worse.

Best news I’ve read in awhile.
I be ready to really congratulate the Catholic Church when they grow some cojones and confront Pelosi on the same issue.

Good news, if rather late... It the Church had done this to his father, forty years ago, millions of lives might have been saved.

I guess this means Teddy Will remain in purgatory indefinitely.

Funny, now that all the ‘powerful’ Kennedys are gone, now they do it. Better late than never, but how many babies could have been saved by sending this message decades ago by banning Ted?

What about his other relatives like Uncle John and his daddy Teddy..and Bobby his other uncle..Those were filthy pigs but yet the catholic church let them do as they pleased..even gave old Teddy a divorce..Is it because the Kennedy money is spread out so much that the church can’t get their hands on much of it..since the old drunk is dead..Now the others are on their own..It is about time these pathetic people pay the price..

“[Bishop] Tobin, who serves in the most-Catholic diocese in the nation..”
It is also the MOST Democrat so Bishop Tobin has lots of “Don’t show up for Communion” letters to send out, and he should.

Most of the Kennedys were always phony Catholics. They should have been excommunicated long ago. Patrick Kennedy should have been excommunicated not just denied communion.

Bingo! The Kennedy money is spread out and therefore cannot gin up a significant amount for indulgences to the catholic church anymore, for the church to look the other way.

What really get me about the whole bunch is they think they can get a priest to bless them and all sins will be forgiven..with a few bucks handed to the preast for an extra prayer..The fools don't understand they can't be forgiven by anyone but God and he doesn't take bribes..

Now, if they would just go after the pro-abortion bishops. (Roughly a third of the bishops in the US are willing to make a public stand against abortion.)
