I guess the Pope isn't one of the foreign leaders who he telling Kerry he has to beat that guy.

Pontiff, excommunicate this slimeball!

"Bluntly telling the Vatican to stay out of American politics..."

What a hypocrite! Isn't this the same guy that was telling of secret discussions he's had where foreign leaders want him to be president? Did he tell them to stay out of US politics at that time?

Ketchupboy is not really a Catholic. He just plays make believe in allegedly Catholic Massachusetts...

And, there’s a wee bit of Irish in everyone…
everyone but John Kerry that is.

Wow. This is pretty huge. Kerry just lost the election.

No, seriously.

Everyone talks about how 40% of the population is broken-glass Democrat, and 40% are broken-glass Republicans, and it's the middle 20% that decide the elections.

Ya know who they are? No, they're not just stupid as Coulter puts it (the one thing I've ever disagreed with her on). She doesn't even realize who they are. They're Catholics. In general (and we're not talking about CINO's here), they're liberal on economic issues and conservatives on social issues. It's not that they don't know what they believe in, it's that each party stands for half their platform.

There are now a hell of a lot of Catholics who won't even -think- of voting for Kerry. He just lost a big part of that middle 20%. He's history. Woohoo!

I just love it when RATS shoot themselves in the foot. I am over joyed. LOL! THIS cannot help him. ;-)

Where do you begin with this sick, lying scumbag John Kerry? "Our founding fathers separated church and state in America"??? I thought it was the liberal Burger Court of the '60s that did that?

bttt

I only wish I was an usher at Kerry's parish so that the nest time he showed up for a photo-op, I could show him the door and kick his ass!

[Desdemona]

If Kerry doesn't watch it, claiming Catholicism is no longer going to be a reality for him. Not that it is anyway.

"A fuming Kerry, taking on his own Catholic Church in the midst of a campaign for president, said Rome should have more respect for America's long-held separation of church and state."

How about you have some more respect for our long-held institution of marriage, ketchup boy.

A fuming Kerry, taking on his own Catholic Church in the midst of a campaign for president, said Rome should have more respect for America's long-held separation of church and state.

You mean the "seperation" you lib's created on the bench 40 years ago...

Responding to the ping...

Why is kerry saying that the Pope is engaging in politics, homsexuality is a spiritual matter, its not like he is advising Catholics on the economy.

Has there been much on the news about this? In class many Catholics were trying hard to justify voting for kerry. stating that he was "personally opposed" to gay marriage and abortion therefore it was okay. that he was just doing the will of the ppl, which is what a politician should do. our priest, usually very liberal stated that thought is schizephrenic (sp?) you cannot divide yourself like that.

i wonder how much this will effect Catholics? and isnt this like saying that he, john kerry, is above the Pope or am i reading it wrong?

I agree he should be excommunicated, but not until after th election. to do so now would only feed into kerrys "victim status" and also possibly make him a martyr to some Catholics and the godless left.

now if the Vatican would come out and say the same thing about the prochoice/death camp, it would make my day:) kerry would show all his true colors!
