do you have to be a Catholic to sign the petition? I think that this petition may have some legs!!! I LIKE THIS IDEA!!!

What is the purpose of the Catholic church excommunicating politicians? Will non politicians also be excommunicated for similar reasons?

[pollywog]

duh!!!!!! Ten lashes with a wet noodle for me!!!! Asked a stupid question BEFORE reading the petition. Sorry.....

I'll have to check with the Monsignor, but I am pretty sure that a Kennedy/Dodd waitress sandwich is also against the rules.

Catholic politicians can no longer take cover under their religion to say abortion is okay. It is not okay in the Catholic Church. They have no right calling themselves Catholic. Stupid people (mostly DemocRATS) will get the idea that abortion is okay if the Catholic politicians say it's okay.

For Catholics and non-Catholics alike, I know many of us have signed the petition; however, many signatures are still needed.

Dear Doug,

One of the authors of this (one of the head guys at Catholic Family) is our very own Polycarp (Brian Kopp). Regrettably, Polycarp is no longer active here at FR.
