Aides are gambling that Mr Kerry's pro-choice stance is quietly supported by many lay Catholics.

You cannot be Catholic and pro-choice.

The Church teaches that the fetus is a human from conception. If you believe this, then you believe that the unwarranted taking of the fetus' life by anyone but God is MURDER.

Therefore, if you believe the Catholic Church's teaching on abortion, either you believe that abortion should be illegal, or you believe that murder should be legal.

Ah, but Mr. Kerry believes in separation of church and politics, remember? He doesn't let his faith inform his decision-making as a pol. Or maybe he actually does.....

Hah, tell that to some of my Catholic relatives, who will vote for him because he's "Catholic", just as many of them will vote for an abortionist if the AARP tells them to. Needless to say, I'm not on very good terms with many of my relatives. After all "who am I to judge?"

What about his divorce and remarriage, is that not also an offense to the Catholic faith for taking communion? Or should he be excommunicated??

More specifically, I'd say you can't be Christian and pro-choice-to-kill

You cannot be Catholic and pro-choice.

Can you be a Catholic and use contraception?
