...said that the bishop of Providence:
...has instructed him to refrain from receiving communion because of his stance on abortion.
Bishop Thomas Tobin wrote to Kennedy:
“In light of the church’s clear teaching, and your consistent actions,” the letter said, “I believe it is inappropriate for you to be receiving holy communion and I now ask respectfully that you refrain from doing so.”
And:
"If you freely choose to be a Catholic, it means you believe certain things, you do certain things,” Bishop Tobin said at the time. “If you cannot do all that in conscience, then you should perhaps feel free to go somewhere else.”
So my question for Kennedy is: Why don't you go somewhere else?
