1/5 My very first op-ed was to denounce Cardinal Medeiros for suggesting that Catholics had to vote for Reagan in 1980. Since then I have repeatedly denounced the Church's political myopia on abortion and communion rail politics. #JoeBiden #Communion
2/5 In 2004, I jokingly threatened a Million Altar Boy March on Washington. Altar boys could protest by refusing to extend the communion plate to right-wing politicians or handing out “rate cards” for obtaining marriage annulments. bennetkelley.wordpress.com/2004/06/23/alt… #JoeBiden #Communion
3/5 In 2009, when RI's Bishop went after my friend Patrick Kennedy, I responded again. "I am not a Catholic scholar like my namesake, but I know enough to know that the Bible says nothing about abortion but plenty about hypocrisy." bennetkelley.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/218/ #JoeBiden #Communion
4/5 - So here we are again. A Catholic priest has decided to inject himself into politics, not to defend the poor, immigrants or oppressed which Jesus talked about, but on the single issue of abortion. I recommend Father Morey read this passage. #JoeBiden #Communion 
5/5 - I also commend #CharlesPPierce
for his brilliant article on the incident. What Father Morey did "was a political act and, as such, with a clear sin of pride, profaned the sacrament worse than any vote Joe Biden ever cast." esquire.com/news-politics/… #JoeBiden #Communion
