I am afraid that this will not work due to the Church's option of dissent (under certain conditions, one can disagree with a policy.) Also, it will make many pro-choice Catholics mad. He might even get sympathy votes from said Catholics. As much as I would like him kicked out of my church, things just don't work this way anymore.
But if I'm wrong, then... yay, no more Kerry the Cafeteria Catholic!
Dear sporkgoddess,
One may disagree with a discipline, though one is still bound by it. One may not dissent from a magisterial teaching, even one that is not technically infallible.
But the teaching on abortion is likely infallible, as the theologian commissioned by the CDF has clearly stated, and thus dissent from it is absolutely heretical.
Mr. Kerry is a heretic.
I'm willing to spring for the kerosene.

"Option of dissent" is a made up phrase used by those who fail to live up to their responsibilities under the faith. Simply, there is no such thing.
