Kudos to Bp. Tobin

It is something I honestly never thought I’d see in my lifetime – a Kennedy confronted by a New England Bishop.  Granted it was not one of the “big names” of the Kennedy clan, but Patrick Kennedy certainly asked for a stern correction.  Thanks be to God his Bishop was willing to be pastoral enough to offer him that needed remedy.  I hope this letter both serves to bring Mr. Kennedy back to the fullness of his Catholic faith and serve as an example for other Bishops of how to handle politicians or other prominent public personnel who choose to make their differences with the Magisterium a matter of public record.  Ad multos annos, Bishop Tobin!
