Kerry Ignores Reproaches of Some Bishops

Mr. Kerry's decision to receive communion represented a challenge to several prominent Catholic bishops, who have become increasingly exasperated with politicians who are Catholic but who deviate from Catholic teaching.

Mr. Kerry, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, supports abortion rights and stem cell research, both of which are contrary to church teaching.

And similarly: Bishops Take on Pro-Abortion Legislators

Too bad they don't take on the anti-Jesus, anti-Matthew 25:31-46 right-wing pseudo-Christians.

On this issue, Sean Hannity had a guest on who was supporting the bishops. Hannity asked the guest whether since Hannity, a public figure, opposed the Church's teachings against the death penalty and birth control, should Hannity also be barred from Communion. The guest had no real answer. Hannity said he felt such activity by the bishops was going down a dangerous road.

Hannity especially has a problem, not just with the bishops, but with Jesus, since Hannity consistently violates Jesus's Matthew 25:31-46 injunction about how to treat "the least of these."
