Kerry believes the separation of church and state "helped make religious affiliation a non-issue in American politics."

Being told he can't accept communion has nothing to do with church and state. It's purely a church issue. The church chooses not to give the Eucharist to someone who publicly refuses to follow church teachings.

During the 1960's the church refused to provide Eucharist to segregationists in Louisiana. Someone should ask Kerry if that was an improper action by church officials.

no...somebody should ask the church, what has changed?

Excellent point. Rodimer is a fool. He will occupy a lower circle of hell than Kerry, but they will be in hailing distance of each other.

Barring, of course, Rodimer and KErry getting knocked off their horses on the way to Damascus.

That's what makes Kerry's whole church-state rap hilarious. First, he says that while he is obedient to Church teachings in private, they should not affect his public policy. But then, he turns around and decides that obedience to Church teaching in his own spiritual life doesn't matter either, in taking Communion!

Disgraceful.
