Patrick Kennedy, the pro-abortion Rhode Island congressman, ignored questions about his feud with the Catholic Church. Kennedy came under fire from his bishop for questioning the pro-life credentials of the church and disclosed a private letter he had received in 2007 urging him not to receive communion.At a health care forum on Monday, his first public appearance since the scandal, Kennedy tackled questions about health care but avoided any on the incident.
Acknowledging the divide between himself and Bishop Thomas Tobin, Kennedy joked to reporters after the event, saying “I'm so glad that all of you are so interested in health care.”
In fact, the issue of abortion came up only once during the event -- when pro-life advocate and perennial local government candidate Christopher Young accused Kennedy of supporting a health care bill that would fund abortions.
“You're not Catholic if you force Catholics into funding abortion,” he said.
