[Aquinasfan]

Judging from the foregoing considerations, it seems clear that a politician who votes in a way that fails to defend innocent human life on a consistent basis and gives every indication of his intention to keep doing so despite warnings from ecclesiastical authorities can be said to obstinately persist in objectively evil behavior of a public nature. And in this regard he fulfills the requirements of Canon 915.

Excellent.

As mentioned in the other threads, the decision by the Bishops will have impact, not only on Kerry.

I think the thousands of State/Local D-"Catholic" types are causing the Bishops to think about how best to drop the bomb.
