#3 Another fine Democrat tradition -- Catholic bashing. Yes, I know Kerry's claims to be a Catholic; that doesn't matter. Going against the Church's teachings and attempting to use them as a political weapon against the Church is Catholic-bashing as far as I'm concerned.

If Kerry does this -- and it's unlikely he'll find someone dumb enough to go along with him -- do you think he'll be given as much heat for "stirring up anti-Catholic sentiment" as Gibson was for supposedly stirring up antisemitism?

#4 claiming that he demands that his staff make time for his attendance to Sunday services

unless they are all volunters he is breaking federal laws by requiring his staff to attend services.

He's divorced, but Widow Heinz made him seek an annulment before he married her.

#6 HMMMmmmm. So Skeery wants to play martyr? Wonder if he's considered converting to Islam? They're always looking for good martyrs.

#7 I'm Catholic, I don't condone abortion but feel that the option to have an abortion needs to remain as is. The real point is, any Catholic who votes for Kerry solely based on him being a supposed Catholic is a moron. Using religion for votes is lame.

#10 Kerry a "practicing" Catholic? Gimme a break. He can hardly be in good standing with the church given his activities, divorces, public opposition and working counter to the Chruch's doctrine, etc.

#11 Old Spook-- Technically in the eyes of the church, his first marriage was annulled. It's pretty damn easy to have that done in America....most of the annulments the church gives are here in the States. You damn near have to be holding a Satanic rite in the parking lot before the church will throw you out nowadays (look at all the pedophile priests who are still in the church and haven't been defrocked). And even then....I don't know if that will do it.

And before anyone goes nuts about that comment.....I'm Catholic.

#12 check out this article at Newsmax. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/3/31/170532.shtml
Evidently there are some Catholics upset at his stances against the tenets of the church.
