Kerry Loses His Faith

We still have a lot of work to do in getting these CINOs educated about Catholicism.

We could start with the clergy. When I went to Mass Wednesday a.m. (on two hours sleep but with a song in my heart!), it was painfully obvious that the priest was suffering from what was named on PBS (I hear they had a call-in grief counsellor on for Kerry supporters) as PESS -- Post-Election Stress Syndrome.

[NYer]

On his program Friday night, Raymond Arroyo gave a similar breakdown "by bishop". It clearly reflected the difference in the messages delivered by each one. In those states where diocesan bishops were more outspoken on the abortion issue, the percentage of catholic vote for Bush was commensurately higher. Missing from those statistics, was the breakdown by 'liberal' bishops. Now "that" would have been interesting!

If you get right down to it, President Bush is probably a better Catholic than John Kerry (not that that's saying much.)

Note the presence of what for all appearances is a framed icon of the Blessed Mother and Child on an end table in President Bush's living quarters -- seen on national television election night.

[television is just wrong]

He won't be excommunicated. Too much money. Besides, he is now Jewish.

[JesseHousman]

He should attend the church whose members voted for him in droves: e.g. Ebenezer Baptist Church.

[Jim Noble]

A Catholic with a major party nomination should have won the Catholic vote by several million.

If that's true, Catholics shouldn't be allowed to vote.

That's like saying, "Mondale should have gotten the Protestant vote".

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

He lost his faith and his hairbrush too.

[Robert Drobot]

He should be officially excommunicated now.

In the alternative, be permitted to publicly repent for his denial of Roman Catholic dogma. Failing that, I am in agreement with you.

Those who are Roman Catholic in name only would do well to reflect on Kerry's heresy.

[SAMS]

The point that some people are still missing is: Kerry is not a "Kennedy" Catholic. I will bet bottom dollar that you will not see him in a Roman Catholic Church again, for a long time. And, contrary to popular belief, we Catholics are not the lemmings that the MSM and certain other parties are trying to make us seem. In fact most of us were ashamed every time Kerry uttered the words, "I was an alter boy."

[SAMS]

Hey, you know that was one of the first things I noticed! Glad to see I wasn't just imagining it.

[AnAmericanMother]

I'm still looking for the source of that icon!

[big'ol_freeper]

The key paragraph in this article:

"In fact, Catholics for Bush made it unnecessary to begin counting provisional ballots in Ohio. Ohio Catholics cast 780,000 votes for Bush and 624,000 for Kerry, a difference of 156,000 votes. Compare that to the overall vote difference for all Ohio ballots: which was 136,000. Thus it can be asserted that Kerry lost Ohio, and therefore the election, because he couldn't get the support of people of his own faith in Ohio."

Can I get an Amen here?!

[No Truce With Kings]

"Note the presence of what for all appearances is a framed icon of the Blessed Mother and Child on an end table in President Bush's living quarters. . ."

Actually, it looks like it is in the Orthodox style. Perhaps it was a gift from Putin. Putin may be a tyrant, but he *is* a believer. (It's a Russian thing.)

[Grampa Dave]

Kerry is like so many other CINO Democrats in politics.

Just look at his fellow Ma Senator Kennedy, as another example of a CINO Rat.

Out here on the West Coast, we have Pelosi Galore, the slice and dice abortion queen.

[dansangel]

Catholics who attend Mass weekly voted for Bush by 55% to 44%.

This number should have been much higher for Bush. I'm glad to see FL Catholics voted for Bush 2 to 1 over Kerry, but it's still not enough. What is wrong with these people????

[MeekOneGOP]

Wow, that is an interesting map. Looking at California, I realize that
California is very predominately Catholic. I had no idea. I thought many
of them in the big urban areas would be Socialist Atheists.

Thanks, folks .....

[clamper1797]

How can he lose something he never really had ????

[NYer]

Can I get an Amen here?!

Amen! Praise the Lord!

[B Knotts]

That map is misleading. It doesn't show what people think it shows.

[NYer]

I will bet bottom dollar that you will not see him in a Roman Catholic Church again, for a long time.

It's already been a long time - since Ash Wednesday!
