I'm sure Sinead O'Conner is apalled.

so how will skerry squirm outa this one?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

The proof will be in watching to see if he takes Communion again.

[Rabble]

This should sway many Catholic voters. This is a step long overdue by the Church. As a Catholic I find his position repulsive in the extreme. Frankly, I find the man repulsive in the extreme! He gives new meaning to the term "Empty Suit".

[joyce11111]

Can't wait to hear what Rush says in the morning.

[Rabble]

The proof will be in watching to see if he takes Communion again.

Technically he can't again take Communion. He won't attempt it as he would be refused and would be embarrassed.The MSM could pick it up and sway more uncommitted voters away from his candidacy.

[Graymatter]

A type of excommunication that "occurs automatically and does not require a formal pronouncement by any Church official."

Sounds a lot like Kerry's Catholicism. Really, now, something as serious as excommunication calls for a little formality from somebody in the Church, don't you think?

[Phocion]

Sounds like the kind of thing that could easily backfire, if Kerry plays his victimology cards right. I'm not comfortable with this.

I wonder if that'll make it on the MSM?

[Just Lori]

Something just doesn't sound right about this. I think Kerry deserves Excommunication, but I'm not sure about this article.

[dc-zoo]

He won't gain anything from it. It just proves his hypocracy.

[Rabble]

Sounds like the kind of thing that could easily backfire, if Kerry plays his victimology cards right. I'm not comfortable with this.

At least while he's busy attending to this issue, he'll have less time to Hammer Bush and his policies. This will put him on the defensive requiring much time to play the victim.

[Technical Editor]

Kerry was excommunicated by his own actions many years ago, so I would not expect anything to happen until the heresy issue is addressed here in Boston.

He knows it, but he just doesn't care. That man's not Catholic at all.

[walford]

Forgive me for being skeptical.

Kerry [and many other Leftist Catholics such as Ted Kennedy] position on this matter has been well-known for years. What explains the timing?

[Watery Tart]

He should have seen that coming....

[AHerald]

What explains the timing?

A Catholic canon lawyer acting on his own accord wrote for clarification on the issue. This was the response he received.

[walford]

Let me add also that if you do not like the rules of the group that you're in, then form your own group.

People who are trying to ordain priestesses, marry homosexuals and/or advocating for abortion in the Catholic Church are trying to deprive these people of the CHOICE to belong to a body of faith that represents a certain set of values.

This is similar to those who want homosexuals to be in the Boy Scouts.

This is no accident.

[AHerald]

Just to be clear, the canon lawyer didn't write for a casual clarification, he wrote as part of a formal suit against John Kerry in ecclesiastical court for heresy.
