Kerry is a farce as far as the Catholic Church is concerned. Even the fact that "KERRY" is not his real name tells volume of the emptiness that is this man's life.

I would more believe he prays to a bird, or a dog, that to God the Father.

HUH, what do you mean by that?

Kerry's paternal grandfather (born Fritz Kohn) changed his name in 1902 to "Kerry" (probably to hide his Jewish roots) and he converted to Catholicism. The fact that people see Kerry's last name as some sort of conspiracy tells volumns about the emptiness of their arguments about Kerry. What exactly is the problem here? Is it somehow reprehensible that Kerry (who did not find out that his grandfather was Jewish or had changed his name until recently) didn't change his name back to "Kohn" immediately? (For those who are interested, Kerry never met his grandfather because he committed suicide more than 20 years before Kerry was born.)
