March 29, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - John Kerry says he's not worried over rumbling in the Catholic Church that his political positions are out of step with its teachings.
Despite positions on abortion and fetus-protection laws that oppose the church's, Kerry insists his faith will not be a campaign issue.
"I don't tell church officials what to do and church officials shouldn't tell American politicians what to do in the context of our public life," Kerry tells Time magazine.
