"In short, while claiming a Catholic heritage, he has used every opportunity to undermine Catholic values," Reilly concluded.

**Kerry votes the way he does because he is beholden to special interests in the Democratic Party, namely abortion advocates. Kerry has the endorsement of NARAL and Planned Parenthood, the NewsMax.com writer said.**

Very telling. This man is totally and opportunist.

Good point. Kerry uses his faith to save the poor, but says it is wrong to use his faith to save unborn children or oppose gay marriage.

I don't think so. Kerry really favors abortions and gay marriage, but does not have the courage to come out and say it. His votes in those cases match his conscience, no matter what he says. The vote Kerry did against his conscience was the vote for the Iraq War. Kerry only voted for war because he thought he had to to have a chance at winning.

In reference to religion, Kerry said something in the debate which, if you think about it clearly and logically, conflicts with his statements on abortion and stem cells. He said something like we were not "loving enough" or showing enough "love" - meaning Christian love. Apparently, Kerry thinks the function of government is to distribute Christian "love" and charity in a New Testament sense.

So...uh...ahem...WHERE is Kerry showing this "love" for the unborn???

If he can't see the contradiction in his statements, that's a little scary.

How do you legislate Christian "love"? How can Kerry turn the government into a Christian "love" machine and keep in step with his statements about not being able to legislate an "article of faith"??? He's more wacko than we thought.

Which is why he will do the near impossible and lose the Catholic vote to a methodist.

Kerry votes for his core powerbase...and since his core powerbase wants abortion, he finds excuses to support it...He also tends to tell people whatever they want to hear...to hunters he talks about hunting (even though he's voted consistantly to constrain guns, even ones hunters use), to the religious, he's trying to play the faith card, to those who are for the war, he is trying to sound strong, while to the anti war he is trying to sound against it...

His voting record speaks for itself, and I will never listen to what he says over what he has done...

plus he still takes communion EVEN THOUGH many many people have explained what the magisterium and catechism teach about abortion and voting pro-abortion.

But since his constituents are pro-welfare state and anti-life, he votes that way, and uses the church to cover his tracks as much as he can. But he walks and talks like a CINO....

I believe Kerry is a liberal to his core, he just can't admit it.

He used to be proud of the liberal title...it's just not cool right now...but you can't beat it out of him...he's a hardcore liberal, even when he's trying to pretend to be a moderate

I address this to any Catholic or supporter of basic Catholic values:
If you want the truth about John Kerry's relationship to Catholic values come to catholicsagainstkerry.com
We have been fighting him everyday from last April. We are making progress. The Barna poll has Bush up 53/36 with Catholics. In the spring, Kerry led with 46/43, Pew poll.
In Sept's Pew poll Bush was up 49/39. In their October 4 release, Pew set it at 49/33 Bush.
We need your help to nail this down. We're running radio spots in English, Spanish and Navajo.
If you can't send us something, send a message to every person on your address list. Our goal is to have 100,000 hits by November 2. Help us anyway you can. Now is the time.

John Kerry Flip-Flops on When to Use His Catholic Belief on Politics

There's the problem. He shouldn't be USING his Catholic Belief selectively anyway, it should be such an integral part of him that he wouldn't be considering thinking any other way!
