As a Catholic, I see this as one of the great problems facing the Church in America. Many Protestants have a dubious view of Catholics - some of it valid but mostly based on idiocy. However, when Protestants see politicians such as Kennedy, Pelosi, Tony Williams, Kerry, and other Catholics openly defy their Church teachings without repurcusions, they conclude the Church is excusing and abetting evil.

It's shameful, the behaviour of these CINOs.
