sKerry's supporters like to refer to him as "a devout Catholic". He dated Theresa for "a short courtship" before they moved in together. They were later married in a civil ceremony withouth his having obtained an annulment from his first keeper, even though they are relatively easy to buy once a price is settled upon with the church, which they obviously could afford. He sought an annulment not long ago, no doubt for purposes of personal politcal gain.

This isn't really a new development, although it may be moving a step closer to that. Those who procure abortions have long been known to be excommunicated LATAE SENTENTIAE, which is to say automatically but silently.

People like Kennedy and Kerry simply deny that it applies to them, and the American bishops, with a few (but I think a growing number) of exceptions, prefer not to speak out publicly on the issue.

The Archdiocese of Boston could, and should, PUBLICLY excommunicate Kerry. But they certainly won't do it before the election. The Church always moves slowly on this sort of thing. But I believe the momentum among the American bishops is starting to turn. The concensus is starting to move away from "don't rock the boat or stir up political trouble" to "gosh, I don't want to be stuck among a minority of bishops who are still defending these pro-aborts. But it won't happen for a while yet.

Earlier this year, Marc Balestrieri filed a heresy lawsuit against Senator John F. Kerry for his public and obstinate support of abortion rights.

How long does it take to have such a lawsuit completely processed by the Archdiocese ? I suppose what I am asking is, is there any hope this action could start to be processed before October 31, 2004 ?

We've been saying that on FR for a couple of years now.

Wonder how Kerry & Co. will try to wiggle out of this one?
