Well consider nominally Catholic MA. If the bishop urged the rejection of EMK, the Catholic rank-and-file would arise in unision against the church. They would not arise in opposition to EMK. People in MA think that the state and the nation cannot live without EMK in the Senate.

What is there about EMK that makes a MA person "worship" such an individual as that? It could be that MA Catholic people gave into the face of EMK and see JFK! The Catholic Democrats are really in need of some new "heroes," it would seem to me.

Not this people! I'd crawl on my knees all the way to the chancery with ashes and sackcloth and a rosary and with tears of gratitude if I thought the bishop would speak out about EMK and his konvenient katholicism.

I've been trying for years to find someone/anyone to admit they vote for EMK... no takers. But I do hear, "he's so good to the old people, he really cares" "look at all the big dig money" (stolen from other states) "he takes care of the poor" - it ain't easy being a conservative in this state!
