Providence, RI – Patrick Kennedy, the pro-abortion Rhode Island congressman, ignored questions about his feud with the Catholic Church. Kennedy came under fire from his bishop for questioning the pro-life credentials of the church and disclosed a private letter he had received in 2007 urging him not to receive communion.

Interesting that he decided to tell the media about a private letter he received from Bishop Tolbin 2 years ago and now he thinks it is a “personal issue of faith”. Maybe he is having a change of conscious after blatantly attacking the Catholic Church? That’s probably not the case, but I do think he has destroyed his credibility on the national stage at this point.
 
Those nominaly catholic fall into three main groups.
  1. Christian catholics faithful to the church
  2. Agnostics who are not Christian but not atheist either
  3. De facto Protestants.
Kennedy, in common with possibly the majority and certainly a large minority of North American cradle catholics is a Protestant who for reasons of his own ( family, culture, national ethnicity etc) chooses to remain nominally catholic. Being in the public eye it is difficult fo rhim to hide the disc repancy between the reality of his liberal humanist brand of protestantism and his nominal catholicis…

While it is tempting to be dismissive of him and his views it is also only right to recognise that his views are religious orientation ( protestant protesting of his conscience in defiance of the Church) are shared by probably upwards of 30,000,000 nominally catholic North American Protestants so he is far from alone.
