Caption Kerry at Church

[mware]

Perhaps this is what Kerry was laughing at.

MEDIA INTEREST IN KERRY’S CATHOLICISM GROWS

Catholic League president William Donohue commented as follows:

“The Catholic League does not possess a theological micrometer that judges, with digital precision, how ‘good’ a Catholic is. Furthermore, it is not our business anyway. But it is also true that we will not pretend disinterest in subjects that touch on the issue of Catholics in public life.

“This week’s issue of Time magazine says Senator John Kerry ‘sought an annulment of his 18-year first marriage before marrying again.’ News reports indicate, however, that Kerry didn’t seek an annulment until after he married Teresa Heinz in a civil ceremony in 1995. Today’s New York Times says Kerry ‘sought an annulment from the church when he was divorced from his first wife.’ Notice that neither Time nor the New York Times says that an annulment was granted. They say it was ‘sought.’

“Kerry cannot claim that this is a private matter since he publicly joked about his quest for an annulment on the Don Imus show of May 8, 1997. ‘Seventy-five percent of all annulments in the world take place in the United States,’ Kerry said, ‘and I guess the figure drops to 50 percent if you take out all Massachusetts politicians.’ He continued saying, ‘It’s one of those special Catholic things. It’s like confession or feeling guilty about things you haven’t even thought of doing.’

“On February 16, 2004, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that ‘Kerry’s office didn’t respond to several e-mail and telephone requests’ regarding the question of whether an annulment was granted. On March 23, 2003, the Providence Journal-Bulletin said that Kerry ‘will not say whether he obtained an annulment of his first marriage….’ Why the reticence, especially since Kerry says his ‘current marriage is in good graces with the church?’ “Why does this matter? If Kerry did not receive an annulment, then he is not married in the Catholic Church and cannot receive the sacraments. But even if he was annulled, did he and Teresa Heinz get married in the Catholic Church following the annulment? If not, then Kerry is not married in the Church, thus raising all sorts of questions.”

OOPS -- I'd best remember to stay clear of AME churches...
(unless I decide to run for office as a Dem)

Kerry says, "Those fools have no idea
what I sold in order to get here!"

[Hand em their arse]

It still absolutely BAFFLES me that the african-americans in this country do not see how badly they are being PATRONIZED by the libs. Do they honestly think Kerry attends a black church on a regular basis?????

Ya know what, they probably do...

HALLELUJAH! My face has been HEALED!
...Until next Botox treatment.

I see from the photo that the Catholic priest at Boston church caved on having a backbone and standing up for church doctrine by giving Kerry communion.

They'll all rot in hell for their lukewarm faith.

[BunnySlippers]

That's not a female priest is it?

[BunnySlippers]

He can't take communion at a non-Catholic church, can he?

[AnAmericanMother]

Wait a doggone sec!

What on earth is a "Catholic" doing participating in a Protestant service - and especially taking communion. No bishop or minister in the AME is in the Apostolic Succession, so what on earth does he think he's doing here?

[Mike Bates]

He can't take communion at a non-Catholic church, can he?

In his faith - the Church of What's Happenin' Now - anything is possible.

[Hand em their arse]

He "can" do whatever he wants, "should" he is a whole different issue. And I'm sure one in which the American public will show their ignorance toward and no doubt blow right past...

"I see from the photo that the Catholic priest at Boston church caved on having a backbone and standing up for church doctrine by giving Kerry communion."

This was not a Catholic priest giving Kerry communion. It was an AME (African Medodist Episcopal) minister. Catholics may attend services in other denominations, but they are restricted from receiving communion in Protestant churches. There are some exceptions such as special occasions in the Anglican Church and in eastern Orthodox churches (although I believe permission still needs to be granted). That is because the Orthodox churches and the Catholic churches have similar church doctrine regarding the Holy Eucharist. and also they share a continuous unbroken line from Jesus to the apostles to their bishops and priests. Can anyone in the Orthodox churches confirm this?

At any rate, Kerry's behavior was not acceptble.

[Rebelbase]

Did Christ mean for it all to be this confusing?
