IN LABELING John Kerry "wrong for Catholics," the Republican National Committee is lying about the meaning of Catholic faith, insulting Kerry, and moving the political exploitation of religion to a new low. The Globe's Michael Kranish reported Sunday on the RNC plot to target Kerry's religious unworthiness as a Catholic. Not only do the Republicans distort Kerry's positions on complicated moral questions; they misrepresent the current state of Catholic ethical thought. General outrage is the proper response to this strategy, but Catholics in particular should repudiate it.

Prayer in schools? Nah... the school day has to be devoted to diversity, conflict-resolution and re-cycling!
The reason, Jimmy, that accusations work against Kerry is because they're true.
Think of him as a kind of inverse catechist.
OK, Jimmy Carrol, Kerry is a good "cafeteria" Catholic. He's a saint with a Sears Wet-Vac abortion kit at his side. I'll even say he's as moral as Bill Klintoon.
Now STFU!
Oh my, the guy claims that "John Kerry's faith is real". I wonder when he became empowered with looking into the hearts of men. Last I heard, God is the only one that can do that; it's why mere men (at least the stupid ones) can be fooled by liars like Klinton and Kerry...
The Globe's Michael Kranish reported Sunday on the RNC plot
Ah, okay, Michael Kranish, the Kerry collaborator...
What's with "[The Anti-Christ]"? It makes it look like you think Kerry is. That's NOT what you're saying, is it?
your priest must be so proud
The fact that Kerry attends the same church as James Carroll is a strike against him---since he attends Our Lady of the Far Out, or whatever that odd is-it-really-Catholic?-church in Boston in called...
John Kerry is what the progressives in the Church would like Catholicism to become. Accepting of every lifestyle and changing with the times to reflect current PC trends.
Fortunately, there are brave people in all parishes trying to take back the Church from the progressive idiots who wish to destroy the traditions and teachings the rest of us Catholics hold.
Kerry abused the annullment procedures and the Archdiocese let him just like they allow the hundreds of annullments for baseless reasons around the US.
I'd rather see the Church lose membership than compromise it's beliefs by endorsing people like John Kerry.
I had to read that statement a few times to ensure I had read it correctly.
I can see that for Kerry, truth is elusive.
VATICANII, mentioned in the original article, did NOT give Catholics the right to make up their own religion, as the paper infers. It sought to bring peace among the various religions. It did NOT change the Catholic religion. Kerry is an apostate. Kerry is NOT a practicing Catholic.
We had a lot of'm up in the New England. Their love for children was unbounded!
We at catholicsagainstkerry.com are aware of this piece and we think it was odd that Carroll did not talk to us about our charges against Kerry.
These people in the media that claim to be Catholic "experts" may be willing to over look the danger to true Catholic values for the sake od Democrat Party politics, but we're not.
Stop by, get the truth. We'll believe supporting life is the most important issue. They don't.
Thanks for picking out that winning phrase. Sheesh.
His staff refuses to say whether he actually got it or not. No record has been found.
And he was married to his second wife in a civil ceremony which, as they say, mitigates contra.
I'm not a Catholic, so you Catholics can correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Pope or a high-ranking bishop just make a public statement that while some moral questions such as capital punishment and war are debatable, abortion is not debatable? Catholic teaching is simply that abortion is wrong. This is not an elusive, difficult search for truth; it is a clear teaching of the Church.
I couldn't give a 'Rats a$$!
I agree. I doubt the RNC would put out such ads or make such statements. It's too ham-fisted.
But any chance the left gets to play the victim or to make their candidate the victim, they'll gladly take the opportunity.
If Kerry is a "cafeteria" Catholic - what are you ?
Most Catholics I know are pretty reverent folk -
You have a pretty filty mouth - and it's horrible testimony to the work of the Holy Spirit in your heart -
"stfu" and "Rats a$$" are hardly fruits of a spirit - or fruits of a heart that has been impacted by Christ in any way shape or form
but as long as youre warming a pew and tithing 2% - Im sure youll consider yourself in fine spiritual condition
Have a nice life
