Bishop Blasts Rep. Kennedy Again
PROVIDENCE –– Even as they agreed to postpone a planned face-to-face meeting that had been set for Thursday, Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas J. Tobin turned up the heat Monday on U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy over his “rejection” of church teaching on abortion, calling on him to enter into a process of conversion and repentance.
In a letter to Kennedy posted Monday on the Web site of the Diocese of Providence’s weekly newspaper, the bishop disputes Kennedy’s assertion that his disagreement with the hierarchy “on some issues” including abortion did not make him any less of a Catholic.

The only good Kennedy is a mute Kennedy! Why do these new ones hate this country?

The Kennedy's have long walked both sides of the street in their support of liberal causes antithetical to their Catholic faith, which is why most of them are now stacked like chord wood burning in hell.

As foul as hell is, it will be worse when Geo Dubya Bush gets there!

Looks like Paddy's hypocrisy is catching up to him.

The only Kennedy’s I ever liked were Jacqui and Joseph. However, I am pro-choice and applaud Patrick Kennedy’s defence of abortion rights. Why is that Catholic Church anti-choice? Is it for moral convictions or because less children would mean less victims for paedophile priests? If I were part of the Catholic hierarchy, I’d sort out my own house first before setting the moral lives of other straight.

This punk Patrick is one of these Kennedy's who think they're somehow above the rest of us. The whole family was based on garbage (old Joe's rum-running) and still is.

Time for the Good Bishops to stop 'blasting' these folks and start 'excommunicating'. Actions speak [much] louder than words!

Hallelujiah! A Bishop with his priestly manhood intact. It is about time these prominent catholics were held to the same standards as the rest of us. I commend the bishop and offer thanks to God for him.

There is enough to take on Patrick. Taking on a Bishop about abortion will not win you any points.

Oh oh...Patrick is gonna have to get a papal spanking.....
