REFRESHING HONESTY:

Pro-abortion Pol Quits Catholic Church (NewsMax, May 10, 2004)

Because some bishops still won't abandon the Catholic Church's teachings, New Jersey Senate Majority Leader Bernard Kenny is abandoning the church.

Days after Newark Archbishop John J. Myers pointed out the dishonesty of pro-abortion politicians who take Holy Communion, Kenny, "a former altar boy who regularly attended Saints Peter and Paul Church in Hoboken until about a year ago," announced his decision, the Newark Star-Ledger reported today.

So he's decided he doesn't like the authority of the Church, and is leaving. When do we burn him at the stake?

"burning at the stake"? No need and no desire to go there. This is a much simpler issue. All this confrontation suggests is that the Church is getting tired of being taken for a ride by members who do not subscribe to the Church's teaching and who have declared their alliengence to another faith. Being a Catholic is not a right, it should be a priviledge to those who subscribe to those beliefs. (Incidentally, priests molesting boys is also not subscribing to the Church's teachings. But I assume that those accused could seek foregiveness by admitting their guilt and facing charges in court.)

To turn your back on the Church because a church leader sticks to his guns when it comes to adhering to Church teachings? What in G-d's name is he thinking?

Brian: We should be so lucky.

MG: Temperance is no fun.

Bartman: Nothing.
