I'm one of them. In fact Kerry's abortion stance was more odious to me because he was a Catholic. Is it unfair? Maybe. But the next Catholic president has to be a real not an apostate Catholic.
Kerry has faith only in the devil himself - kennedy/clinton.
If he ever was, he hasn't been a true Catholic since 1968.
He should be officially excommunicated now.
How do you lose something you never had?
I've been a little disturbed by that map being posted all over today which shows kerry winning mostly in the regions where Catholics are the dominant religion and losing where Mormons and Protestants are dominant.
It's shameful that as many Catholics voted for kerry as did, but on the whole the Catholic vote favored Bush. It just happens that lots of Catholics live in the same cities as blacks and secular liberal whites, two groups that vote overwhelmingly Democrat.
As for Protestants, Evangelicals voted 2-1 for Bush, but the Mainstream liberal protestants probably voted 9-1 for kerry.
In other words, things are more complicated than that map suggests. The coalition of Catholic conservatives and Evangelical conservatives (and in smaller numbers a growing number of Jewish conservatives) is vital to the future of the conservative movement in our country.
2 Wayne County, Michigan Catholics for Bush!
Let's see what black church he attends this Sunday!
My cat is more Catholic than John Kerry.
He has done all sorts of things that proclaim that he is NOT a Catholic and is just calling himself one to get votes - taking communion in a Protestant (AME) church administered by a female priest, attending a semi-schismatic church run by dissenting Catholics, remarrying in a civil ceremony, apparently remarrying without getting an annulment (though he applied for one), publicly scolding the conservative American bishops, plus of course his position on abortion.
It's not just abortion - it's the all-round hypocrisy and cynical exploitation of his supposed "Catholicism". If you get right down to it, President Bush is probably a better Catholic than John Kerry (not that that's saying much.)
In my humble opinion the whole thing came down to this .... Protestant, Catholic, Morman, male, female, young, old, fat, skinny, straight, gay .... we all made the same decision. Do I want to vote for a phoney duck hunter ... phoney touch football player at the airport ... phoney war hero ... phoney career politician with secret plans to solve all problems ... phoney complexion ... phoney teeth ... phoney wealth ... phoney everything! Or, should I vote for Dubya. Other than the entrenched beauracracy (teachers union, labor unions, federal, state, and local government employees, etc.) we all voted for Dubya.
SKERRY'S only 'faith' has been in his own ego and power-mongering skills as well as in his ability to get the puppet masters to back him in his power mongering.
I doubt he even believes that God Almighty really exists. His parents didn't functionally exist at critical stages of his life. Why would he think that God would exist?
How can you lose what you do not possess?
How about "Catholics Put their Faith in Bush"?

PRESIDENT BUSH WON CATHOLIC VOTE
Blame the Republicans? No, This Time It's the Christians
Considering that a vote for the Boston Baby Butcher was a mortal sin, we'll no doubt notice heavy traffic at the confessionals this weekend. (Sad to say, only joking.)
It is worse than even Kerry's politics on abortion. In the second debate he leveled a huge insult to every serious believer when he explained how his Catholic beliefs must not translate to his actions. Come again? What a pathetic creep.
Ping.
You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

This writer is kind of delusional.
If Kerry had been a devout Catholic, he'd not have been nominated.
