Reuters PHOTO: "ROMAN CATHOLIC" John Kerry takes communion at AME Church [Is this kosher?]

In another article I read earlier today, Kerry's campaign has staffers who check out Catholic churches in advance of his attendance; they don't want any photos of Kerry being refused Communion by a priest.

So he goes to a church that isn't even his religion just to get a bleeping photo op of him taking communion??

WHAT?!?!?!? ... did he think no one would notice????

[NormsRevenge]

BUMP

He doesn't give a rip about our Sacraments or the Church's teachings;
only cares about the votes he hopes to derive from 'stupid democrat Catholics.'

[Mo1]

And he is using this church and their religion for a photo op

That might explain the look of the gentlemen in the background with the beard

[Aliska]

Makes it clear how uncatholic he is.

He needs the catholic vote. Really, I think the average catholic won't think much one way or the other about this. If he doesn't set foot in a catholic church for awhile, it will largely go unnoticed is my guess. Wait and see. It's a family thing, too. Catholics normally don't just walk away from the church, even those who don't really have much faith.

This is a very calculated move and, while it could backfire, it could be a plus in some ways.

A sacred day for the Lord become a Kerry 2004 promotion!

I heard the pope said wasn't worthy for sacrament!

[Travis McGee]

Not Kosher Kerry Kommunion!

I "hate" him, Mo.

I hope he comes here on a Sunday.
I'll go to the same Mass, and trust me, I'll OBJECT
to his taking Holy Communion for all to hear.

Those pictures is just so wrong on so many levels

For crying out loud .. it's church .. God's House and not a campaign rally

[Mo1]

I wish someone would so those words

Like I said-

Roman 1

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Let him be here in town on a Sunday,
and I will attend same Mass,
and I will object to his partaking
in Holy Communion, for ALL to hear.
You "can" accompany me. :)

Deal! Call out the partial birth infanticide booster!

>>>Really, I think the average catholic won't think much one way or the other about this.

I see three groups, those who are die hard democrats. They won't care.

Those who are die hard pro-lifers. They will care, but it won't change their votes.

Then there is the mushy middle. They might care, it depends on how its presented to them, and whether they think he has crossed lines or not. Some will object, see www.catholicsagainstkerry.com. Someone has already registered www.catholicsforkerry.com, but I don't see a website there.

GOOD.
I'm serious.
We'll attend together.
I'll say whatever we decide.
It needs saying.

If you live here in San Diego with us,
you are most welcome to join Trav and me.

[bonfire]

Little too far for me, but if he ever comes to my neck of the woods looking for a saintly-photo op, trust me, I'll be there.

[onyx]

GOOD.
Be there and say someting.

[Mo1]

There is a special place for that man
