Who are these jokers to decide on who should have the communion?
Communion by the clergy is not sacrosanct and it is an interpolated concept.On the basis of religious qualification only Jesus is qualified.
The office of Papacy as a temporal power was a creation of Constantine.
If strict moral laws are applied, majority of Popes are unfit to to receive Communion because of their debauchery.
As to the concept itself, if all of us are the children of God, why should I receive permission from a joker to Commune with my Father?
God does not need brokers.
Story:
The nephew of ex-president John F Kennedy, a US lawmaker, has been barred from receiving communion at his Catholic church due to his
US Representative Patrick Kennedy, son of the late senator Edward Kennedy, was told of the move by Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin, according to The Providence Journal newspaper in the US state of Rhode Island.
Kennedy represents a district in Rhode Island in the US Congress.
“The bishop instructed me not to take communion and said that he has instructed the diocesan priests not to give me communion,” the paper quotes Kennedy as saying in a telephone interview.
Kennedy said the bishop had explained the penalty by telling him that he was not a good practicing Catholic because of the positions that he had taken as a public official, particularly on abortion, the report said.
The congressman declined to say when or how Tobin told him not to take the sacrament or whether he had obeyed the bishop’s injunction, the report said.
Tobin, through a spokesman, declined to address the question of whether he had told Kennedy not to receive communion, The Journal noted.
