For those people convinced that the state will not “ration” health care, especially for the elderly or those terminally ill, I ask you to refresh your memory concerning Terry Schiavo. The actions of the state are well documented in that case.

I saw on another website that Bishop Tobin said “If you freely choose to be a Catholic, it means you believe certain things, you do certain things,” Bishop Tobin said on WPRO, a Providence radio station. “If you cannot do all that in conscience, then you should perhaps feel free to go somewhere else.” What an extraordinarily un-Christian thing to say! I thought even excommunicated Catholics were still considered Catholics. I don’t believe the bishop is setting a very good example for the rest of us.

Archbishop Dolan, I note that some 50 other CATHOLIC members of Congress voted against the abortion ban in the bill. Several of them are from NY and part of our Archdiocese. I feel there vote is a blatant disregard, actually even worse an attack upon a central tenent of our faith. How can they continue to get away with this behavior without a similar call to the carpet as Bishop Tobin has done. This vote by members of our local Church harms us all-it leads to discord and confusion. I feel it must be addressed head on individually with each person.

In reply to Amy Pawlak – he Church’s position on health care reform is NOT the same as the GOP’s!! Even if the bill explicitly bans payments for abortions or explicitky contains a conscience clause, the GOP will oppose the bill, because they think it’s “socialism”.

Archbishop Dolan, I compliment you for your wonderful support of your brother Bishop of Providence, RI. The Kennedy’s have gotten away with murder (literally)including Ted’s funeral Mass for many many years.As public figures and as Catholics it is good to hold them to task, especially their pro-abortion stance. It is time for them to be held accountable publically for their support of “evil”!!!!Thank you again!!!!!

The Catholic church should have excommunicated the whole Kennedy family a long time ago!!!!
