My religious faith has also had a profound effect on my politics but I'm talking about the dependablity of trying to rely on what candidates say about their faith as being relative to making a decision as to whom to vote for.

What about Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry, Harkin, and a whole host of other extremely liberal so-called "Catholics" who do not practice the Catholic beliefs at all and most do not care one way or the other.
