A person’s state of wealth has no influence over whetehr he/she can receive a saving Sacrament.
I agree, all have sinned. The church would benefit from a perception that they treat all fairly.
The church takes a moral high round on the question of abortion, then gives a pass to Roman Catholic legislators who publicly vote to undermine the position of the church.
Instead, the kennedys are made heroes. The church should have had a "Come to Jesus" meeting with the younger kennedy brother years ago, and then made their dispute public until kennedy repented.
Many Irish Catholics in Massachusetts would have benefited from a strong position by their church.
The only difference I can see is based on their wealth.
