This cannot be just about John Kerry. That would not be correct and would rightly be perceived as taking sides.
EVERY Catholic politician (national, state, local) who has been supportive of ANY of the following: abortion, euthanasia, cloning, embryonic stem-cell research, OR sodomite marriage should be the recipient of formal communication from his/her bishop.
Whatever the proper course is, like what the great Archbishop Burke (now of St. Louis) did.
Those who persist after the proper canonical steps would then be publicly excommunicated.
They could all be given the justice and merciful medicine of excommunication by July 1 and we could have an awesome Independence From Satanic Tyranny Day on The Fourth.
At the same time there should be a series of homilies nationwide and a series of inserts in every parish bulletin and diocesan paper on what the Church teaches about these subjects and teachings on Catholic civic responsibility.
IMOthe culture is so far gone it would take something this radical to turn it aroundregardless of the elections.
The Church does not kick people out, it is a loving Mother. The sinner excommunicates himself, HE abandons his Savior. The Church -- just like a good parent -- here is trying to wake the persons conscience, before they die, so that they may repent and avoid eternal hell.
