I am not sure if I would be classified as a luke warm Catholic as I don't go to church on Sunday and disagree with some things that the church says. But having said that, do I support Kerry?!! GOOD LORD NO!!
I'd rather have someone who has a strong faith in the White House than someone who has no clue exactly WHAT his faith is.
The article doesn't say you have to go to church on Sunday. It says you are to attend Mass once a week. The distinction is important given that Catholic churches often hold Mass daily. I'm sure that it includes participation in the Eucharist.
But I really have no idea if it's considered a mortal sin not to do so. Someone else will have to answer that.
