I have no respect for that woman....Every time I am reminded of the abortion she almost had-she had an appointment for one but miscarried the day of said appointment-it makes my blood boil. She should have carried that baby to term and then provided all the support and care that her millions would provide. How can she profess to be a "good Catholic" and make any other choice? Surely she must have run into a nun in her early years who told her "the Lord does not give us more than He thinks we can handle" and/or "The Lord will provide". Boggles my mind...rant over...
I'm not Catholic, but can't for the life of me understand why Catholics who reject most of the church's fundamental teachings continue to consider themselves not only Catholics, but in such good standing that they should receive communion. If they don't agree with the church's unequivocal stand on abortion, for example, why don't they find a group that shares their beliefs - in Kerry's case, the Unitarians or the Metropolican Community Church probably would do.
The competing munchables are Laura Bush's oatmeal-chocolate chunk cookies, and Teresa Heinz Kerry's pumpkin spice cookies. Home bakers are invited to put them to the taste test and vote in their favorite.
Click for the recipes. I'll stick with the chocolate chunks! Can't imagine Teresa with her hands in the pumpkin.
