"Just slightly arrogant?"

Arrogant? Perhaps. But I've yet to see the Vatican (or local RC authorities) take any action against any political leader. He's not running much of a risk.

Well, apparently he's not supposed to be offered Communion in Boston or St. Louis (which is why he went to a Protestant church in St. Louis last Sunday)...it was made very clear he would be refused in St. Louis. Whether that would actually happen in Boston remains to be seen, but there are a handful of articles available via Google News today saying that Kerry is facing a quandary over where to attend Easter services. His staff fears a photo of him being refused. There was also a story he was seeking out a hostile priest to refuse him so he could be a "martyr"!
