Rep. Patrick Kennedy Banned From Receiving Communion By Bishop Thomas Tobin

Hear me out, opinions of a Catholic~??The Catholic Church asserts that abortion is killing the most innocent among us, so one would assume the Church would hold this issue as a priority above others, let their position not be misinterpreted, they see abortion as killing innocent human life, because they believe life begins at conception… This isn’t a matter of women’s rights to the catholic church, to them it’s a matter of protecting life.. So if one as Biden/Pelo­si/Kennedy call themselves Catholic they cannot condone killing life (according to the church) Now they can easily get around this by ceasing to be Catholics, why don’t they? Now I’m not exempting those priggish little republican senators who have affairs, and say they’re “family Catholics” They are just as bad.. Same is true for pro death penalty “Catholic” buffoons, they shouldn’t receive communion because the Church has always said mankind is not to take life..The point is if your faith is what it says it is and if you don’t like it, don’t state that you are a member of that faith

I heard you Etherealechidna, except the catholic doesn’t follow that doctrine.

??Does the words Inquisition, Crusades, Pedophilia bring any thoughts of hypocrisy to mind?

??The catholic church is anti abortion because its history was one of preserving the birth of males. A woman dying during the childbirth of a male heir was sanctioned by the early church when the privileged were marrying and impregnating children with a pelvic barely able to pass a baby through. ??

If the catholic church was so concerned about the sanctity of life would they be so determined to protect the priests that molest “the most innocent among us?”

??Has the Church refused communion to any of the priests that were guilty, or any of the higher ups who knew about their foul deeds and did nothing about it or shielded them from justice?

??Who is the “it” you are referring to that is supposed to be telling this catholic what his faith is?

My faith is in God, not what some man says God says.

??God has not told me that a woman who has an abortion is ‘killing the most innocent among us.” A man has determined that an aborted fetus is a living entity.

Not believing that man does nothing to my faith. ??Paying no attention to a man who says I am excommunicated does nothing to my faith either. My faith is in God not some man who proclaims he speaks for God.

When asked what gave Congress the right to institute such a tyrannical mandate, Democratic Senator Jack Reed actually had the nerve to tell CNS News that it was constitutionally justified.

Why? Because, according to Reed, it was no different than making people “sign up for the draft.”

Got that?

As far as Nancy Pelosi and Barack Hussein Obama and Jack Reed and radical leftists in Congress are concerned, they have every right to force you to purchase a Pelosi-Obama-approved health care plan under penalty of law.

And apparently, like the draft, it’s your solemn duty to purchase their so-called health care plan… or else.

If you cross them… if you are not covered by a health care plan that has the Obama-Pelosi Seal Of Approval, the IRS will assess a penalty of up to 2.5 percent of your income and if you resist paying this penalty, you can go to jail for up to five years and/or be fined up to 250,000 dollars.

Congressman Dave Camp, the Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee, put it this way:

“This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail.”

Specifically, when asked for the justification, under the Constitution, for Congress to make the draconian requirement, Reed told CNS News:

“Let me see… I would have to check the specific sections, so I’ll have to get back to you on the specific section. But it is not unusual that the Congress has required individuals to do things, like sign up for the draft and do many other things too, which I don’t think are explicitly contained [in the Constitution].”

“Get back to you?” … on the Constitution? … Is this man actually a United States Senator? … it should be obvious, Reed has no idea what’s in the Constitution. And it should be equally obvious that leftists like Reed and Pelosi and Barack Hussein Obama have little regard, if any, for the Constitution anyway.

And lastly, it should be painfully obvious exactly why Pelosi-Care (the spawn of ObamaCare) must be stopped.

Oh… one more thing just recently became obvious… it seems Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will try to ram Pelosi- Care down our throats before we even know what hit us after all.

Right after some Senior Democrats claimed last week that so-called “health care reform” would not be resolved in the Senate this year, Reid immediately (and quietly) moved to bring Pelosi-Care to the Senate floor.

Debate will start on Tuesday… even though Reid has not even finalized the Senate version of the legislation.

Whoa… just last week, Reid said, “They want us to do this the right way, not the fast way.”

What a turnaround…. Why the rush Harry?

If we’re going to stop Pelosi-Care, we must act now, because time is short.

The push to make prostitution legal obviously doesn’t have the same effect on the catholic church on Guam as abortion does. They have been strangely silent on this issue.

It appears efforts by the Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association to establish a red light district outside of Tumon are making progress. Discussions have been ongoing between lawmakers, business owners, and GHRA members with the Guam Land Use Commission that may assist in finding a suitable location to move adult entertainment and massage parlors.

GHRA and the Guam Visitors Bureau have expressed concerns that the growing number of strip clubs and massage parlors that are allowing prostitution are creating a non-family friendly image for the tourists who visit the island. GHRA President Mary Torre says she’s hopeful the GLUC will put the issue back on their agenda when they meet next week.

“We will continue to work through it and we hope the Commission will consider it again,” said Torre, “so we can start to move forward and start working together to collaborate and ensure we do our part to really develop this area as a tourist destination.”

When the thousands of new troops arrive, I guess we will be ready with plenty of women to meet their needs.

I think it is disgusting to turn our women into prostitutes for money.

But maybe the tide is turning at last – even if it’s because patients are finally taking matters into their own hands.

I was thrilled enough when I read a profile in the Los Angeles Times of diabetics who control their condition without meds… but I was ecstatic when I saw the latest study in The Lancet, which found that weight loss and exercise are BETTER than meds for prediabetics.

Researchers followed 3,234 overweight or obese adults at risk for diabetes and followed them for a full decade. Some were given metformin to control their blood sugar levels, some a placebo, and the rest were told to lose weight and get some exercise.

At the end of that decade, 2,766 remained in the study. The group with the lifestyle changes had lowered their risk of diabetes by 34 percent versus the placebo… while those who took drugs had reduced their risk by barely half of that – 18 percent versus the placebo.

One more win for lifestyle changes.

Too bad most of the 24 million diabetics and 57 million more overweight adults with dangerously high blood-sugar levels never get the full story when it comes to the power of these changes.

No, they’re given drugs… which as this study shows aren’t very good at preventing the condition. And once those fail, they’re thrown to the wolves of insulin injections and even more drugs.

And believe me, Big Pharma wants to keep it that way.

They’re even looking for ways to get MORE people on these drugs. Already, many prediabetics take diabetes drugs – and just watch as they try to sell this new med as a weight- loss drug for everyone.

Please, spare us already. I’m sure the side effects like nausea and vomiting helped contribute to the modest weight loss patients on these drugs might get.

Instead, get your diet under control and start moving around. It’s simple, really – so simple that once you’ve gotten yourself into the rhythm of a healthy lifestyle you’ll wonder why it’s taken you so long.

The diabetics in the Los Angeles Times article all managed to ditch their insulin with these lifestyle changes, and many of them don’t need any meds at all.

For them, it started with the simple recognition that a life of insulin injections and diabetes meds would be harder than a life of healthy living. So they made a commitment. They’re eating right – some are doing very well on low-carbohydrate diets.

And they’re exercising.

But you don’t need to be a diabetic to benefit from their example.

Cut the sugar from you own life and start getting out a little more. Ideally, 20-30 minutes of exercise per day is all it takes – just be consistent. Start with a walk. Maybe that will turn into a jog or a run, but if it doesn’t, don’t worry. Just keep walking… or dancing… or hiking… or swimming… or doing whatever it is that gets your muscles moving.

You can do that, right? Of course you can.

On a mission for your health,
