It's sad that Senator Kenny has turned his back on the Church, but at least he'll no longer be scandalizing it. I wonder if Governor McGreevey will continue to seek communion in private. Either way, he has taken the honorable step of ceasing his public dispute with the Church.

" ..New Jersey's State Senate majority leader has decided to leave the Roman Catholic church after 57 years rather than vote in accordance with Catholic doctrine. Democratic Senator Bernard Kenny, who supports permissive abortion laws and research on human embryos, says he was given a last warning by church officials to repent or stop seeking communion. Kenny says he told his pastor Saturday that he is quitting the church. Last week, New Jersey Governor James McGreevey took the rare step of saying that he will not receive communion at public services. McGreevey's announcement came after Newark Archbishop John Myers declared that supporters of legal abortion should not receive communion, and the Camden bishop said he would refuse communion to the Democratic governor.
