Representative Patrick Kennedy (D) of Rhode Island has been barred by the bishop of his local catholic church from taking communion because of his support for abortion rights. He was told that because of the positions he took as a public official, he was not a good practicing catholic and that communion would be withheld.This is wrong and this is bad enforcement of religous teaching. If churches are going to continue to force their way into politics, then it's time to repeal the tax-exempt status they all enjoy.
Can you imagine the windfall that would come from the taxation of churches and their properties?
