Rep. Patrick Kennedy, Theologian

Rep. Patrick Joseph Kennedy, Theologian

Could there be a finer Irish name than Patrick Kennedy?

Sure and begorrah, there could not, and, Patrick, you’ve done a foine job at presenting yourself, indeed.

Could there be a worse exemplar of Irishness and Catholicity than Congressman Patrick Kennedy? Sure, now, there couldn’t!

Catholic theologian-wannabe Patrick has now weighed in on the abortion-in-Obamacare controversy and the right of the Catholic Church to express an opinion on the matter: http://bit.ly/zt9Wr.

He declared that the Church is sowing the seeds, “flames of dissent and discord,” he called it, by its opposition to Obamacare simply because Obama’s cure for the nation’s health care issue incorporates provisions for solving any health problems of the pre-born by killing them.

Patrick, Patrick, Patrick, me-boy, are you not aware that the other Irishman, Barack O’Bama, has said abortion will not be incorporated in Obamacare? If not, would you be beating a dead horse?

And, how can you say, “I can’t understand for the life of me how the Catholic Church could be against the biggest social justice issue of our time, where the very dignity of the human person is being respected by the fact that we’re caring and giving health care to the human person–that right now we have 50 million people who are uninsured?”

That number, by the way, seems to grow and blow in the wind.

Patrick, in the immortal words of Irish playwright, Sean O’Casey, surely you don’t believe that “The whole world’s in a state of chassis” or that health care supersedes the issue of killing pre-born babies as “the biggest social issue of our time?”

For the life of me, I can’t fathom your thinking!

Is not ending the lives of some 50,000,000 human beings long before their time more consequential than inaugurating a socialistic welfare program?

Patrick, Patrick, Patrick! . . .
