He has no right to practice 'Ex-communication' of a parishioner. No Right. Because that is exactly what the victimization of Patrick Kennedy is. Tobin is practicing politics and does not belong in the middle of the relationship Kennedy has with God.
Patrick killed no one. He separates church from state when he serves in office and he upholds his own morality within his faith. Tobin is attempting to 'instill' Catholicism on others through the powers of government. He should be removed from his status as Bishop.
Tobin is an extremist and a power hungry religious zealot. He does not belong imposing his will on the all of the USA. Patrick Kennedy is a moral man that is able to discern 'his place' in his democracy as practiced under the USA Constitution. His legislative ability is valuable to the people of the country and the state he represents.
Patrick needs to receive communion and if anything happens to that man that he is unable to garner his soul to his destiny it rests on the Zealot that has ABSOLUTELY no authority in this matter.
I am not a Catholic and no religous zealot is going to deny me the right to have a moral man in office REGARDLESS of his religion and he will NOT impose his religion on my rights under my Constitution. What an idiot.
The United States of America is founded on freedom, not religious oppression. We left the Church of England behind over 200 years ago, and I am quite confident the Vatican falls into that category as well!
