Don't know... if the "Catholics" should sticked to their ideology, then they wouldn't vote for the Abortionist.

Excellent!
Those Cow Burger Boys are great!
Just yesterday, my sibling and I were discussing this issue. We came to the obvious conclusion that Kerry has excommunicated himself. It only confuses the laity when bishops don't call him on this and brings further scandal to the church.
Furthermore, good Catholics are not supposed to receive communion if they are not in the state of grace. For instance, if one does not go to confession and knows there is sin that must be confessed, one should not receive communion. We are called upon to monitor ourselves in this regard. This is supposed to be a common practice. Yet we do not hear anyone in authority, calling upon Kerry to utilize it even for the reason that he is a divorced Catholic (also a reason for excommunication). disgraceful.
LOL!!!!! Very cute.
Ask yourself this: If you knew that your own parish priest was engaging in the profanation of the eucharist, would you want him to give you communion?
Interesting proposal to address the problem.
Saw an article here yesterday that Kerry had effectively
'excommunicated himself' by his support of the 'heresy': abortion. Noone would contradict his pro-abortion stances so I can NOT understand why the hierarchy can not state it.
You have to admit it's direct. If a priest is not taking confession and giving communion, then the church must ask, "Why is he there?" It must also ask, "Why are the parishioners there?" That quickly leads to other questions of the sort that bishops dread.
It will get worse before better... The church has an obligation to support good values.
John Kerry will create laws that support abortion at any stage, embryonic creation and destrution for science, creation of life from cloning, Homosexual marriage... What exactly does the bible say about these things:
"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being."
When the church has failed to uphold the laws of God, who then, will?
It truly is up to us.
Is the problem here that the Catholics are afraid of angering their long-term traditional Democrat base even when the Democrat ticket takes issue positions far at odds with Catholic teachings? Or is it that the Catholics do not like to see political issues divide their congregation and want to steer clear of "divisive" politics?
Sad to say, I think some Mormons are voting for Kerry, too - but not many. (One's too many.) It defies all logic.
