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?
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.
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 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.
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.
The teachings of the Catholic faith are based on the deposit of faith revealed by Christ to the Apostles and handed down by their successors in the form of Scripture and Oral Tradition and as explained and expounded by the authentic magisterium, consisting of the successors of Peter and the successors of the Apostles, i.e., the bishops in union with him. Theologians are not the authoritative magisterium. The teachings of Vatican II changed none of that.
“Kerry's positions on a range of issues, from abortion to the death penalty to the centrality of social justice, mark him not as a renegade Catholic but as one of that increasingly large number of faithful Catholics who understand that moral theology is not a fixed set of answers given once and for all by an all-knowing hierarchy but an ongoing quest for truths that remain elusive.”
To say that Kerry’s position on the subject of abortion is elusive is an understatement. He has said he is personally opposes to abortion, and in the same breath does everything in his power to promote it. If this is a result of his quest for truth it is totally at odds with the teachings of the Catholic Church, and mark him as a renegade Catholic of the highest order. To deny life for any reason is immoral, unjust, and mortally sinful.
There is no such thing as "current" Catholic ethical thought. The Church remains constant on moral doctrinal issues. It is those in power who deviate from these teachings -- bishops, cardinals, even popes -- who damage both the Faith and society. Very dangerous when those in positions of authority speak and promote falsehoods (or even ambiguities).
Kerry probably has 666 on the back of his head.
I have more respect for the junkie poet Jim "Catholic Boy" Carroll says than this Self-hating Catholic any day of the liturgical calendar.
