I'll say it again,
"All talk, no action."

It is incomprehensible that O'Malley allowed the Body of Christ to be given to a person living in an obvious state of mortal sin.

Yeah, we know. The spotlight is now on these politicians, and they know what O'Malley has said.

After Kerry's outburst today against the Pope, O'Malley's not going to become his whipping boy. Let community pressure and stares from fellow Catholics work on Kerry and Kennedy, and others.

It is simply amazing that you can be so judgemental and still consider yourself a catholic! How do you know whether or not Kerry went to confession? You are no better than Kerry by judging his soul and the souls of others with whom you disagree.

I think St. Paul said that those who receive the Body and Blood unworthily call down condemnation/chastisement/excommunication or whatever,upon themselves.

If we would hear that line more often in Church,it would probably serve us all well.The unworth partakers and the rest of the congregation who know,or at least think they know.Probably would never need extraordinary eucharistic ministers if people heeded those words. On the other hand,it would probably force the priests back into the confessionals another five,six hours a week.
