John Kerry is Catholic?

[princess_ballet]

I didn't know John Kerry is Catholic? Is he? This is what I have heard.

It certainly won't change my vote, but I thought it was interesting.

 

[ProCommunioneFacior]

He is Catholic by name only.

yeah catholic like ted kennedy is. hahaharr

Not every Catholic is going to be in lock-step with doctrines. I'm sure everyone has their own problems with at least one part of doctrine.

Its true that John Kerry is catholic, but just because you claim you are something doesn't mean you really believe it.

I don't believe that Bill Clinton was really a Baptist, or at least not a practicing one.

so what he had his big bible, people like Bush actually have a real faith in something besides themselves

 

[Bushido216]

Heh... riiiiiight. It's not like he isn't catering to the religous right for votes or anything.

So his coversion witnessed by Billy Graham and others never really happened.

He never accepted Jesus as his saviour.

She he talks about it, so did Gore.

When Cliton, Kerry or Dean talk about faith it seems like a foriegn object to them.

I'm not saying that he isn't an evangelical. I'm saying that a large part of him going around and wearing a huge cross on his sleeve, his back, his front, and on his forehead, is a sop to the religious right.

Anyway, I'm going to sleep now, peace.

perhaps but it is a real sop, which is better then a lie.

Actually, Kerry's been many things in his life. For a short time, he claimed to be Catholic. I heard on a conservative radio show that he's been probably 3 or 4 different denominations. I don't think he's really anything (except it would seem at this point, an adulterer )

Kerry is what they call in politics a "good Catholic" precisely because he is a bad Catholic.

He is an "embarrassment Catholic", as far as I'm concerned.

And in spite of what your hero Hillary Clinton (hehehe) says about her "solid Methodist roots" she's about as Christian as her husband. No matter how much I agree or disagree with Bush, at least he is not a hypocrite, and stands by what he says and believes.

It is okay if we struggle to be faithful- but you can't be deliberately disobedient to the Church and certainly not lead others into disobedience through a position of power--
which is certainly going on if someone claims to be Catholic and yet seeks to make abortions available to anyone at anytime, for any reason- and is in a position to actually influence that outcome.

Didn't somebody just post a link to an explanation of Excommunication of those who profess pro-choice beleifs??

There are too many pro-choice candidates that claim to be practicing Catholics, in my opinion. I have Tom Harkin right in my back yard!

In the words of the great Archie Bunker: He's a good Catholic, he doesn't bother with it."

My opinions about Bush, he won’t win. I’d like him win but he won’t. He did what he had to do and he knows he risked his career to do it. I believe he is a sincere man and believes he did what he thinks God asked him to do. It will be sad to see the political office go back to being fully secular and spiritually empty again.

Why in the world would you support Hillary? Is this a joke or are you serious?
