Ooh snap! MSNBC’s Chris Matthews really lays into Rhode Island Bishop Thomas Tobin over his banning of Rep. Patrick Kennedy from Communion due to Kennedy’s support for abortion rights. Matthews trowels it on pretty thick but I think he’s on the right side of this one. I enjoyed this one. It’s not every day one of the clergy has his feet held to the fire like this.

Hey, I like the Bishop’s suggestion that if Catholics (or anybody for that matter) don’t like the values of their constituents they are forced to represent in Congress that they should quit.
Great idea! We’d see an immediate reduction of religious representation in Congress!
