It is especially puzzling that those who take the Bible as literal fact cannot accept the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

I think mostly they don't accept apostolic succession.

Well, apparently Kerry doesn't either.

I won't condemn him. He lives and dies with his own actions. I have to think God's hand is here. We don't often see the workings of the Almighty until the result is obvious, but the Eternal Father has hardened men's hearts throughout history for a specific purpose known only to Him.

Pray for Kerry and the Bishops because they are the ones being tried and their failure could well result in disaster for the Church and this country.
