When the Pope said Catholic legislators have a duty to oppose gay marriage, you said he had "crossed the line" because "it is important not to have the Church instructing politicians." Have you felt that way even when the Church has instructed politicians take liberal positions regarding economic justice, race and other matters?

It's not taking instructions from the Church when the party swings that way to begin with. And personally, I figure that even if John Paul himself grabbed Kerry by the testicals and threatened excommunication, Bush is more likely to legislate his religion into the lives of citizens than John Kerry.
