Rhode Island's top Roman Catholic leader has asked Rep. Patrick Kennedy (pictured) to stop taking Communion over his support for abortion rights.
Kennedy, a Democrat, is the son of the late Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and a scion of the most prominent Catholic family in modern U.S. politics.
What about other Catholic lawmakers who support abortion rights?
Does the abortion question very from one diocese to another? If not, was Patrick Kennedy’s father, Sen. Ted Kennedy also asked to refrain from taking communion?
Ted Kennedy also supported abortion rights as do most Democrats in Washington, so what about John Kerry, Chris Dodd and other pro-abortion lawmakers in Washington?
Another question: why did Patrick Kennedy wait for nearly three years before criticizing his Bishop about the Communion ban?
It is interesting that this exchange was comes on the 46th anniversary of the assassination of Patrick Kennedy's uncle, John F. Kennedy, the nation's first Catholic president
