PROVIDENCE, RI -- An ultraconservative bishop has banned Rhode Island Rep.
Patrick Kennedy from receiving Holy Communion because the Democratic
congressman supports abortion rights, Kennedy says.
The ban escalates a dispute between Bishop Thomas Tobin and the nation's
most famous Roman Catholic family.
"The bishop instructed me not to take Communion and said he had instructed
priests not to give me Communion," Kennedy told the Providence Journal for
an article published yesterday. "[He told me] I am not a good, practicing
Catholic because of the positions I've taken as a public official."
PATRICK KENNEDY Bishop bans Communion.
The bishop's spokesman declined to discuss what he told Kennedy.
In Albany, former Gov. Mario Cuomo warned church leaders yesterday, "If
you're required [by the church] to make everybody follow your Catholic role,
then nobody would vote for Catholics."
Burn 'em, Doc. Burn 'em all.

Maybe he should consider a different religious affiliation. If you're
going to call yourself Catholic, you should be pro-life since that's
the stand the Catholic Church has taken. If someone is pro-choice, he
or she is not following the doctrines of their Church. Patrick Kennedy
is just being stubborn if he insists he's something that he's not.
Throw these hideous cows into the bonfire with 'em!!

With the Kennedys, abortion is an ironic act. Since many have died
tragically early, or have faced extraordinary suffering,
abortion would've saved them much agony.
It's no wonder they support it.
LOL!!

Agghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Horrific...Never human, not in this whole wide world. Girls must be
'demure' and ladylike. These things are aliens, disgusting aliens.
Burn 'em, Doc, Burn 'em. Onto the fire they go. I doubt that their
cries and contortions whilst being engulfed by the flames, would look
a lot different to their video.
Thanks for the..nightmare. Have to repeat, Burn 'em.

Abort them all; save the world. Burn the messy bits afterwards to make
sure.

Here's a cut & paste job on the e-mail I
sent the Providence diocese, complete with
any typos.
It is an e-mail, not an assignment, so it
is effectively a First Draft. So, yeah, I
know I could have done better, too.

John F. Kennedy.
Way back in 1960 John F. Kennedy ran for President,
and every anti-Catholic bigot in America claimed that
he would be an agent of the Pope, taking his orders
directly from the Vatican.
No longer will it be just the anti-Catholic bigots.
Because of you, even open minded people, voters without
a malicious bone in their body will have no choice but to
believe that any Catholic running for office is an agent of
the Pope, taking their orders from the Vatican.
And they will be right, because if a Catholic politician
does not vote the way the church orders them to vote
on legislation then they will be punished.
Any Catholic politician who has never been punished is
a Catholic politician who has always obeyed the edicts
of the church, representing Rome (and not the voters)
in Washington.
Shame on you.
This will hurt the church. Long term, it will kill it.
Where do you stop? Just politicians? What about
CEOs of companies that offer church-condemned
products or services? What about doctors? What
about pharmacists who dispense day-after "Abortion"
pills or even contraceptives? How far must you go
before your lust for power comes to an end?
When it's unsafe to HIRE a Catholic, not just a
danger to vote for one?
Shame on you.

If all the catholics who disagree with the doctrine on abortion and
birth control left the church, there would nothing left of it in the
first world countries. Eventually, change will come from within and
that is likely why those people don't leave the church. Even my mother
used birth control after she was told it was dangerous to have more
children.

Whip 'em. Whip 'em all. If it's good enough for the Pope, it's good
enough for erring Catholics. Praise be the Virgin Mary, Glory to God
and his Dad and Brother (How the Hell does that work?) Praise be to
the Saints of whom people said, "Burn 'em"
Non-Flagellation is a Mortal sin. Buy your whips at Paddy's emporium.
All together now...Bleed for Jesus and make lots of little babies to
bring up as 'good Catholics'

Why doesn't he just ignore the bishop? I'm not supposed to take
communion in the Anglican or the Catholic church, because I haven't
been confirmed in either, but I do anyway when I attend a service.

Perhaps, Kennedy hasn't flaggelated himself sufficiently.

I find that few people have any clue about their
own religion, and are even more ignorant concerning
everybody else's religions.
For the vast majority of Protestants, for example,
marriage is NOT a sacrament. Rephrased: By definition,
marriage is NOT "Sacred" to the vast majority of
Protestants in America.
Try telling those dumb fucks that... Sheesh!
That whole CHANGE to marriage was a major plank
in the Protestant Reformation, and the primary
reason why Protestants (but not Catholics) could
get divorced.
"Predestination" is another...
: Dr. Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist
: Theological Seminary in Kentucky, responded.
: ''Many Southern Baptists find predestination
: and other doctrines difficult to understand
: and even offensive to our pride,'' he wrote.
: ''But we cannot read the New Testament without
: coming again and again to these doctrines.''

I've frequently been told that evolution is anti
Christian when few people outside of Protestant
fundamentalism (evangelicals) have any problems
at all with it, including the Vatican.
Heck, most of these nuts aren't even aware of the
fact that there's THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS of
the Ten Commands floating around out there. That,
or they're intentionally misrepresenting the
Protestant version as the only version:

Oops, did I say *Only* three? My mistake....
Perhaps the best religious advice you or anyone
else could even another person is silence.
"I'm not supposed to take communion in the Anglican or the Catholic
church, because I haven't been confirmed in either, but I do anyway
when I attend a service."
Must be hungry, Woodsy. Not much nourishment in a wafer of bread.
Anyway...not supposed to, but do...!!!!!
Heaven's Angels will throw stones down at you. Ye shall be cast out
into the darkness. You know that God, all the Angels, the Martyrs, the
Saints etc, cry when you commit this defiant act, this act of
rebellion? Beware my Child, for fire will reign down on thee from the
Heavens.

Hahaha! I think it's funny that religions try to make people think
God would be displeased with anyone who reaches out to Him. In a sic,
twisted kind of way, of course .;-)

Other churches say the wafer is a symbol of 'Christ's body'.
If you have communion in a Catholic service..then it isn't a symbol at
all. It actually IS Christ's body...and you are eating him!
Disgusting thought...but that's one of the major differences between
Catholics and other Churches. By magic, during the Mass, the bread
really does change from bread into flesh...HIS flesh, and you are
given it to eat!
Bloody daft.

From the "Last Supper," when this Joshua guy supposedly
took up some bread, broke it and said, "This is my
body..."
He also supposedly claimed that the wine was his blood.
NOTE: "Jesus" is the first-ever bootlegger ever recorded.
His first miracle was turning ordinary water into wine.
Incidentally, this is why the Catholic church considers
marriage a sacrament. They figure if "Jesus" chose a
wedding to perform his first miracles -- in a sense, revealing
his divinity -- then there has to be something special
about weddings & marriage.
Religions are a lot of fun, yes, but what's even more
fun is going about your life as if they don't exist.

Has to be an entry into the Guinness book of records! I hadn't thought
about the 'boot-legging' aspect of his activities!
Damned useful little trick that one...;)
Werewolfy
Well, that's not how I take it ;-) So, I have no qualms.

> Bloody daft.
Most religions have daft beliefs sprinkled in with some good ones -
some are mostly daft, and some not, but I don't think there's any
religion that doesn't have at least one whacked out belief in their
dogma. I don't mind, so long as it doesn't impact me.

Was he a bootlegger? I'm not sure you can be a bootlegger if it's not
illegal to make wine.
Hmmm .... interesting thought, anyway. He was something of a hippie
freak type, though ;-)
