Kerry, Kennedy, and Dodd Receive Communion at Papal Mass

Even though the Pope and other high authorities in the Vatican have said that Catholic politicians who support abortion should not receive communion, at least three of them did in DC (images by Christendom College's Tom McFadden, and from LifeSiteNews.Com):

John Kerry received communion.

So did Chris Dodd:

And even though original pictures showed Ted Kennedy remaining in his seat during communion, which at first made me somewhat respect him for it, it turns out he actually did receive communion at his seat. From LifeSiteNews:

"Two of my sons and I attended the Papal Mass yesterday. We were seated in section 216, directly above the section in which Ted Kennedy was seated. Several minutes prior to the general distribution of communion a priest walked down to Ted Kennedy and gave him communion. There was some discussion amongst we in our section about the inappropriateness of his reception of the Host. Be certain, he remained seated not out of some self-enforced respect for the sacrament, but rather out of respect for his girth and mobility."
