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.)

It is worth bearing in mind by all Republicans, that it was not so much that Bush won this election, but that Kerry lost it!
If Kerry had been a faithful Catholic, he would have taken the Catholic vote and he would have won. There were enough Catholic voters in Ohio alone to ensure this. Many people have put their trust in W to defend the unborn and preserve the sanctity of marriage - I just hope that he delivers.
This election has shown a great contrast between America and Europe though. In Europe, Rocco Buttiglione lost his post on the European Commission because he is a faithful Catholic. In America, Kerry lost the election because he is an UNfaithful Catholic!
It was pathetic to hear this loser whining about the need for "unity and healing" in your country, and for that scumbag in the senate to warn Bush against appointing pro-lifers to the Supreme Court. Who won the d@@n election?
The voters did what was right - now its time for the politicians to do the same.
