[history]
April 12, 2004 -- Democrat John Kerry - a pro-choice Catholic whose abortion views have prompted some Catholic leaders to say they want to bar him from Communion - yesterday received the sacrament during Easter Mass in Boston. "It was a wonderful service," Kerry said after the Mass was celebrated at Boston's Paulist Center by the Rev. John Ardis, who has said he was "inundated" with calls urging him to refuse to give Communion to Kerry.

This altar incident underscores everything wrong with certain elements of the US Catholic Church.I don't know that "The Paulist Center" is really a "Catholic Church". Read around their website: The Paulist Center

Theodore Cardinal McCarrick of Washington, D.C., who heads a church task force on relations with Catholic politicians, yesterday told "Fox News Sunday" that Kerry's abortion stance "has to be an issue" because it involves "the teaching of the church." I hope he said a lot more than that.

Sounds like we're talking about eating meat on Friday here! What a tepid, meaningless response. Even if they let some lefty priests give Kerry communion, the bishops have an obligation to explain that respect for life is the BASIS of all Christian morality, including those "social teachings" Kerry supposedly upholds.

"There is separation of church and state in America. We have prided ourselves on that all of my lifetime," the senator told reporters Tuesday. "I fully intend to continue to practice my religion as separately from what I do with respect to my public life, and that's the way it ought to be in America." http://www.boston.com/news/politics/president/kerry/articles/2004/04/12/kerry_celebrates_with_communion/
If that's an accurate quote of what Kerry said, Kerry clearly does not understand the Catholic faith. Abortion - the vast collection of bizarre policies pushing the culture-of-death depopulation agenda of secular humanism - is not an issue which Catholics may claim to be merely private or "separate" or whatever goofy, fuzzy, liberal, secular humanist jargon Kerry wants to appeal to.
