Does this mean the bishops will no longer ony attack on the diagonal? About time! (except that means they have the offensive power of queens....yike)

Sheesh, he's a Catholic and he doesn't even know his popes??

[Old Professer]

Is there something wrong?

I can't get FR to refresh even after shutting down.

I thought I read where bishops in Chicago and Boston had no trouble extending the eucharist to John Kerry. Is there a discrepancy between bishops here?

[the Real fifi]

Start with Kennedy and Kerry--The Church has a disconcertingly consistent way of ignoring the evil in Boston, doesn't it..inside and outside the clergy.

I'm starting to get a few interesting opportunities for dialog when I identify the dnc and Kerry in particular as 'pro-cannibalism'. If I lived in NJ, that is a characterization i would make often regarding the governor when he worked to make New Jersey 'first in cannibalism'.

the American Life League has identified more than 500 pro-abortion Catholic politicians throughout the country and bishops are beginning to address the issue.

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

Now if they went a little further and excommunicated them for actively promoting a belief system that is both abhorent to and directly in violation of Roman Catholic teaching then you might find yourself with either less politicians within the church (may not be too bad a thing) or anti-abortion legislation.

You can add Dungheap Harkin and Tom Vilsack to this list.

It looks like the NJ Bishop should first remove the beam from their own eye.

As reported by Father Pavone. "Here is another real outrage, taking place at Seton Hall Law School on Friday, April 16, 2004. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is notoriously pro-abortion and voted to strike down the partial-birth abortion laws of more than 30 states, is presenting the annual "Sandra Day O'Connor Medal of Honor" to Judge Maryanne Trump Barry of the U.S. Court of Appeals, the pro-abortion author of the opinion striking down the New Jersey partial-birth abortion statute."

"I'm not a church spokesman," Kerry said. "I'm a legislator running for president. My oath is to uphold the Constitution of the United States in my public life. My oath privately between me and God was defined in the Catholic Church by Pius XXIII and Pope Paul VI in the Vatican II, which allows for freedom of conscience for Catholics with respect to these choices and that is exactly where I am. And it is separate. Our constitution separates church and state and they should be reminded of that."

Bull-free translation: "My religion opposes killing babies. I don't actually believe in any of that, so I'll claim separation of church and state so I can fully support a woman's right to rid herself of those little pests while simultaneously keeping the Catholic vote."
