John F. Kerry gives CPR to a dead Hamster yet votes NO 6 times to BAN Partial Birth Abortion!!! Tries to save a Rodent and allows the slaughter of human beings created in God's image.  What does that tell you about his Character?

More Bias and spin in the many newspaper articles to protect the liberal democrat. Kerry provided NO evidence of an annulment and he was married to Heinz, his second wife worth Billions,  in the back yard of a home on Martha's Vineyard which is not ordinarily allowed for Catholics and there is also NO evidence of any RC priest who married them.

I wish the reporters would question him for the truth. Dream on.

Excommunicate Kerry Website      Catholics Against Kerry

1400 Ecclesial communities derived from the Reformation and separated from the Catholic Church, "have not preserved the proper reality of the Eucharistic mystery in its fullness, especially because of the absence of the sacrament of Holy Orders."236 It is for this reason that Eucharistic intercommunion with these communities is not possible for the Catholic Church. However these ecclesial communities, "when they commemorate the Lord's death and resurrection in the Holy Supper . . . profess that it signifies life in communion with Christ and await his coming in glory."237

Can.  844 §1. Catholic ministers administer the sacraments licitly to Catholic members of the Christian faithful alone, who likewise receive them licitly from Catholic ministers alone, without prejudice to the prescripts of §§2, 3, and 4 of this canon, and ⇒ can. 861, §2.

I'm no fan of the late John F. Kennedy, but he did make one statement that I think is the best line I've ever heard form the lips of a Democrat:

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

I'm ready to be flamed for "judging" you.

You are a bad Catholic.

Must be a lot of us 'bad Catholics' knocking around.

Practically everyone I know, and in my church thinks like I do.

I also live in a country where abortion is illegal.
Go figure.

He also said Kerry is someone who prays in secret and contrasted this to the Pharisee in the Gospel who seeks to bring attention to himself through ostentatious worship. The senator knows how to keep his faith and politics separate, he noted.

Ummmm ... then please explain why he has a camera crew follow him to church on Sundays?

Freedom, equality, justice, and humanity are the values represented by the Democratic ticket, he said.

Then why is it that Dem Politicians have such a hard time standing up to Dictators who suppress people and violate their basic human rights?

I am not a single issue voter ... I look at the whole picture when deciding who the best person to vote for.

And from what I see .. President Bush has more respect for the teachings of the Catholic Church then Senator Kerry

Sen Kerry can call himself a Catholic till the cows come home ... But he is not a Catholic in good standing

A good comparison. Evil wears many faces. Kerry and Edwards just have more modern masks.

"Practically everyone I know, and in my church thinks like I do."

I'm very sad to see that. Maybe you'd best find yourself a good Bible teaching church. You know, one that teaches UN-selfishness.

No, the Catholic Church - and my Bishop - is quite happy with his flock.

Perhaps you should take up a petition, or a witch hunt, if it doesn't suit you?

A practicing Catholic could never, in good conscience, vote for Kerry, given the Senator's support for several issues contrary to the teachings of the Church.

"... Pope Paul III applied the same principle to the newly encountered inhabitants of the West and South Indies in the bull Sublimis Deus (1537). Therein he described the enslavers as allies of the devil and declared attempts to justify such slavery "null and void." Accompanying the bull was another document, Pastorale Officium, which attached a latae sententiae excommunication remittable only by the pope himself for those who attempted to enslave the Indians or steal their goods.

"When Europeans began enslaving Africans as a cheap source of labor, the Holy Office of the Inquisition was asked about the morality of enslaving innocent blacks (Response of the Congregation of the Holy Office, 230, March 20, 1686). The practice was rejected, as was trading such slaves. Slaveholders, the Holy Office declared, were obliged to emancipate and even compensate blacks unjustly enslaved.

"Papal condemnation of slavery persisted throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Pope Gregory XVI's 1839 bull, In Supremo, for instance, reiterated papal opposition to enslaving "Indians, blacks, or other such people" and forbade "any ecclesiastic or lay person from presuming to defend as permissible this trade in blacks under no matter what pretext or excuse." In 1888 and again in 1890, Pope Leo XIII forcefully condemned slavery and sought its elimination where it persisted in parts of South America and Africa."

The answer is that a practicing Catholic could not in good conscience vote for a person who endorses slavery. Whatever else that candidate supports or does not support is immaterial.

The stem cell research issue should not prevent your vote for Bush. Bush's position forbids the expenditure of Federal money on new embryonic stem cell lines. He does not preclude private research, state-funded research (there is a measure on the California ballot this year regarding state funded research), or non-embryonic stem cell research.

Bush's position represents a principled stance. If congress could muster a 2/3rds majority in each House, they could override any Bush veto. The fact of the matter is that embryonic stem cell research is an ethical issue as much as a scientific issue.

Did you look at what you wrote in post 86?

You put money above all things?

Everyone in your church thinks like you?

I don't think you are a happy gal at all, and you need to go to your church and ask people what they think, for I am sure you have read them wrong.

What if they assign you to some service that goes against your religious beliefs, or you oppose on moral grounds?

Very good question ... and if I was to guess .. we'll be seeing a lot of lawsuits in this country
