**In 2004, according to a recent Pew poll, a sizeable majority of Catholics plan to vote for George W. Bush, an overt evangelical, against John Kerry, a Catholic.**

I know this Catholic is voting for Bush!

John F'n Kerry's catholicism experience is mainly about when he actually served as an Alter Boy (back when he was about 6+).

So what about the rest of his life?

Btw, John F'n Kerry is about to become an ExCommunicated Catholic for his stand on abortion.

an edited version of the Nicene Creed, with the section on believing in only "one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God," dropped out.


Ok. This one I do NOT believe. The creed is not up for debate in our Church. If any entity in the Church drops this line, a Bishop should be notified. This cannot be true.

Who goes faster...A "Spiritual Windsurfer" or a "Buddhist Boogieboarder" ?

This existential question has always bothered me.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Does Sen. Kerry speak about sin? Can't find that anywhere in his published speeches, but he did tell American Windsurfer, "So much of the conflict on the face of this planet is rooted in religions and the belief systems they give rise to. The fundamentalism of one entity or another." WORLD looked for a Catholic spiritual advisor who is close to him, but Sen. Kerry's most ardent praise seems to be for "the Dalai Lama who I've spent some time with and who is absolutely intriguing. Extraordinary person. He is certainly telling us there is life from enlightenment—here and hereafter, but I think, whether or not we're going to be [enlightened] is the great test that all of us are struggling with."

Is this Catholicism? No, but it's what is taught at Sen. Kerry's home church, the Paulist Center in Boston. Jonathan Last of The Weekly Standard attended a Center service and observed a reciting of an edited version of the Nicene Creed, with the section on believing in only "one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God," dropped out.

Indeed.

None dare call it heresy?

The root cause of bottomlessness is always theological confusion...

Boy, is this the truth. Theology fuels everything. Even atheists have one.

I love the use of the nautical jargon 'having bottom' to describe the difference between GW Bush and Kerry. A real sailor's compliment!

Perfect. A phony goes to a phony church where a phony creed is recited. It fits perfectly.

This guy is truly frightening. If he is elected, we are in deep doo doo
