Yes, he sounds right to me. And I'm a Giuliani supporter.
Never quite understood why/how it suddenly became news whether/to what extent political candidates participate in their faith's rituals.

He’d better watch out. If Rudy becomes president, he might be classified as an enemy combatant.

The bloody massacre of babies, which is abortion, is not something the Catholic Church allows it’s members to “follow their own conscience” on. If you support this abomination you are in the state of serious sin and to publicly profess this support you bring scandal to the entire Church. Such a person is not in communion with the Catholic Church and should be refused the sacraments, period.

Are you old enough to remember the Kennedy campaign? Questions about his participation in his faith were very common. Common enough to make headlines in our nations biggest newspapers.
Im not a supporter of Giuliani by any stretch, but this is common fare for political opponents and will get worse as the days go by. Religious stuff only comes up during election time, otherwise, nobody seems to care.

The presence of God should not be a political football. The decision to grant Communion to Democrats in the last election, while Priests and Bishops knew of their positions , to Me has pretty much nullified this position. The Church has let various Kennedy’s continue,An others. They know all about them, and the list continues.. of abuses.To little ole me this sounds like a socialist , trying to select his guy thru the use of Communion.. Its selective - should be highlighted , exposed

Unfortunately, the Catholic Church has been way too inconsistent, in my view (for the record, I’m Catholic). Whereas I don’t know for sure, I would guess that Ted Kennedy takes communion, as one example. Further, I think it is ridiculous that one can get an annulment after being married for many years, and then take communion again as one who has never officially broken their marriage commitment. That’s ridiculous. Either let all divorced people take communion, or deny annulments that occur more than several months after marriage. Further, I’ve seen this pushed even in circumstances in which there are multiple children from the marriage. What does this say to the children of that marriage? I know this is somewhat off topic, but I do see plenty of inconsistency.

Sad.

In the Roman Catholic Church and other Reformed and Reformation churches as well. The Roman Catholic Church rightly calls abortion a sin, as do many Protestant church bodies. To actively and openly support such behavior is grounds for denial of the Holy Supper, ala John Kerry.
One can't have their Communion wafer and eat it, too, if they oppose basic Church doctrine and/or dogma.

The Catholic church seems very selective in its enforcement. As others have noted, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, the Kennedys and countless other dems seem to never be challenged by the church over this and other matters.

Ah, yes--the Catholic grandmother that cares about kids, yet reduces fetal homicide to a matter of individual "choice;" and has no words of condemnation for a BDSM parade mocking the Passion of our Lord--and in front of a Catholic Church!--in her home city. Such is the joy of outward, formal religion: Ms. Pelosi can still be considered a "Catholic," in spite of everything she has said or not said, because no one in a place of authority cares that much.

"Never quite understood why/how it suddenly became news whether/to what extent political candidates participate in their faith's rituals" Once it is known that a candidate has a religion, the next step is to find out how religious they are without violating the 'no religious test' clause. Sounds plausible.
A simple answer, yes or no, is entirely insufficient to gain some insight as to the depth and dedication one has to their faith.
Next it will be, 'how many times did you go to confession this year,' or 'do you speak in tongues' or 'can you sing at least 10 Gospel songs without looking at the book?'

The Church has let various Kennedy's continue Bishop Burke is obviously not responsible for what anyone outside his authority does. I suggest you look up what he had to say about giving, e.g., John Kerry communion during the last election before you conclude that he's somehow not acting in good faith. (Hint: he was against it.)

Yep, with one of those really convenient annulments as well (after a decade and a half of marriage).

Nord, I don’t blame you for your anger against any priest who abused children. I’m far more angry that you are because I’m a Catholic. But, please note that 99% of the Catholic clergy are innocent. And the rest are being culled out.

I think the local parishes for both Pelosi and Kerry have told them they will not receive communion, but not sure if it was actually carried out.
