Kerry is not a Catholic. He is a hypocrite claiming to be a Catholic. Churches are full of hypocrites that go for show, or participating in Paschal's Wager. Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites for good reason.
Catholics are Catholics because of what they believe. If you do not adhere to the foundational teachings of Catholicism, you have no right to claim fellowship in that particular body.
The premise that the "Pope" cannot tell me what to do and I must separate my personal from my public life is outright blatant hypocrisy. Kerry is only a Catholic in "privacy".
Despite some thinking that Jesus was meek and mild, he called hypocrites, HYPOCRITES, along with alot of other things. The Catholic Church should boot Kerry out, in the least refuse communion.
If you are not following the church and the teachings, then it can only be surmised that you are using the church for gain. A money changer.
I am not Catholic, I am Pentecostal. A Christian does not believe that it is okey dokey to kill the unborn, to practice homosexuality, let alone have them marry or have a civil union. That is an abomination to God, and contrary to Catholic and Protestant teaching.
Blessings, Bobo
