Kerry's spokesman said he was trying to avoid insulting anybody.

And by so doing he insulted a lot of his fellow catholics.

There are other ways situations such as this could have been handled. Those people he is photographed with would not be welcome to receive communion in the catholic church. There is a blurb in the missalette explaining why. I wonder if they realize that?

If the they you're referring to means the people in the photograph, they probably don't, but that shouldn't be held against them. If they haven't received instruction in the Catholic faith, they probably wouldn't know. Kerry, however, should, especially because I've heard over and over again, that besides being in Vietnam, he was an altar boy in his youth. Didn't he learn anything from that Catholic upbringing of his? Are his parents still alive, or any siblings? I wonder what they think of this behavior.
