"I am speaking to you as someone who when I hear the Scripture, I get a very different message of what Jesus was teaching me than what the church seems to be representing."

That happens when the little dickens is off his meds.

[Bikers4Bush]

Exactly, he has to listen to it to get the message because he can't read.

Idiot.

[wideawake]

Holy Father! What does it take to excommunicate a vocal apostate like this?

[mhking]

Patrick Kennedy wouldn't know what bigotry was, even if a bonifide bigot walked up and slapped him in the face....

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[.45MAN]

Another Kennedy that should take up flying. The most anti-Catholic Catholic family in the country..

[sc2_ct]

We are talking about the law here and whether the law is going to treat people equally here. I don't see where the church or anyone else dictates what the policy is going to be with respect to treating people equally

We are talking about souls here, and whether the church has the authority to ignore the word of God. I don't see where the State(tm) or anyone else has the right to dictate matters of politics to God with respect to entry into heaven.

[tractorman]

Why aren’t the Kennedys excommunicated?

[aShepard]

Patches is a immature idiot, a disgrace to our state, and to himself!

He gets a different message because he is following a different gospel and a different Jesus....one of his own making.

[Mears]

The Kennedy's are becoming a national joke,why don't they just shut up!!!!!!


They use the Catholic Church,and the church let's them,just for their own political gain.I heard that Fat Ted took communion (after walking from his VIP seat)at the induction of Archbishop O'Malley.Sickening,but the cameras were there for all to see(I didn't watch it myself)

"The life of Jesus Christ influences my whole notion of public service," Kennedy said. "It's all about following the example of Jesus, of service, humility and love."

Kennedy continued: "I am speaking to you as someone who when I hear the Scripture, I get a very different message of what Jesus was teaching me than what the church seems to be representing."

Want to bet that other than sitting in church during Mass, he hasn't heard or read a single Scripture in his life?

[Chi-townChief]

Time for a long-overdue Kennedy clan conversion to the Episcopal "Church."

[mtbopfuyn]

I see the policy of opposing same-sex marriages or unions, whatever you call it, as bigotry or discrimination

"Whatever you call it", lol, so he doesn't know what to call it either - very telling. I don't know much about this Kennedy but this article makes him appear immature.

We are talking about the law here and whether the law is going to treat people equally here. I don't see where the church or anyone else dictates what the policy is going to be with respect to treating people equally.

But it's God's law. Pat, there's a confessional empty right now.

[WestPacSailor]

"I see the policy of opposing same-sex marriages or unions, whatever you call it, as bigotry or discrimination"

I guess God is a discriminating bigot then, 'cause He has made His position on same-sex marriages/unions abundantly clear.

[joesnuffy]

Yes how dare the Vatican make comments on sinfull lifestyles
Who do they think they are and what is their job description anyway?

"We are talking about the law here and whether the law is going to treat people equally here."

Gays and straights have an exactly equal right to marry someone of the opposite sex.

"I am speaking to you as someone who when I hear the Scripture, I get a very different message of what Jesus was teaching me than what the church seems to be representing."

What, is this our Public school dollars at work again? Oh, Kennedy probably went to a private school, I forgot.

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination."(Leviticus 18:22)
"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."(Leviticus 20:13)
"realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching," (1 Timothy 1:9-10)
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

While we like to pick on homosexuality as a "pet" sin, since most of us don't condone it, there is no question the Bible condemns it along with many other sins. Mr. Kennedy needs to read the Bible.

[Mike Darancette]

I long for the good old days of ex-communication and interdiction.

Nothing like the threat of eternal damnation to focus ones mind.

[ThomasMore]

The life of Jesus Christ influences my whole notion of public service," Kennedy said

YOU BIG *^$#&* LIAR!

YOU CHARLATAN

YOU APOSTATE HEATHEN!

YOU ARE A DISGRACE!
