Seems the second JFK is going to have a lot of problems with the Catholic establishment, if not the Catholic vote. Might be a problem in big Catholic states, like PA.

One can only hope. But for some reason, the Catholic church (and I am a Catholic) tends to back the libs using other issues like the death penalty and the war.

I've been disappointed by the Catholic stance on poltical issues time and time again.

Agreed. The Catholic stance is grown murky and inconsistent in the last 40 years. The Vatican will take a stance on one issue that conflicts with their view on another issue. It is often frustrating for Catholics to make sense of this and it is one of the reasons why it has become hard to characterize what the average Catholic stands for.

"All you need is a picture of Kerry going up to the Communion rail and being denied, and you've got a story that'll last for weeks," says Father Thomas Reese, editor of the Jesuit magazine America.

Oh, I wish I was as rich as Soros! Believe me, I would build a new church and give a hefty donation along with it to that priest if I could see a photo of Kerry being denied Communion

My mom is very active in the Church. One evening a few weeks ago, they had a dinner with the pastor and some parishioners. A woman said she 'couldn't stand Bush' and won't vote for him. My mother was very upset and told her that Kerry was for abortion and how could she even consider voting against her faith and sending a pro-abortion candidate into office. Mom turned to the priest and asked him about this...and he wouldn't even reply. Now there would have been a perfect opportunity for him to set this woman straight. It sure made my mother take a second look at this priest that she really admired. Since then she has turned this woman around to vote for Bush. But I still get steamed when I think of how this priest wimped out. It will depend on your parish and diocese as to whether they will guide their flock in the Right direction.

Oh, did anyone else see the author of this Time article on Fox just a few minutes ago? Glad it is getting air time....if only on FOX

I have been surprised by the Catholic voters to be honest. I would think they would never back a liberal abortion, gay marriage touting politician, yet for some reason they do in droves. I don't get it!!!
