Balestrieri (possibly to keep the pot boiling) went to Rome in an attempt to get an answer to the question of whether politicians who vote for abortion should be excommunicated. He did get a response from a Vatican Congregation to the effect that they have excommunicated themselves. Kerry's name was never mentioned in this exchange, and there are those in Rome who are denying the whole thing.

I give Balestrieri an A+ for strategery. A media campaign is the only way to move this forward.

Balestrieri was on WRKO talk radio in Boston for a segment this morning. He's doing his best.
