Man voluntarily is part of an organization. Man publicly opposes the organization on one of it's most important issues. Organization says, "you're breaking our rules, take a time out." Ho hum. I don't understand why it's an issue to anyone - certainly to anyone not Catholic. (Sorta like Democrats fascination with how the Republican party operates). It's got nothing to do with government, really. If Mr. Kennedy doesn't like it, he can <b>choose</b> to change his position on abortion, <b>choose</b> to leave the church or <b>choose</b> to continue on, be a hypocrite and possibly catch some flack for it. Take the church part out of it.

(Note: I am opposed to the death penalty, too.) However, there have been other instances where the Church has behaved in a similar manner on other issues. Prof. John McAdams has a blog post about the Church and civil rights that's interesting. http://mu-warrior.blogspot.com/2009/11/deny-communion-to-pro-abortion.html The Church’s opposition to the death penalty is not of the same level, or even absolute.
