i suspect that John Paul II might see it differently. Regardless of whether or not you are a ranking official in the administration, supporting a war that the Vatican opposes goes aginst CAtholic thinking. I hate to burst your religious bubble, but that's the truth. Anyone could use the same equivocation to support any Catholic opposed idea..."I let my woman have an abortion, but I'm not on the supreme court so it's okay."

TO flaunt he is a catholic when ALL OF THE MAJOR ISSUES THAT PERTAIN TO CATHOLICS THIS ELECTION HE HAs OPPOSITE POlITICAL VIEWS WITH.
As Catholics its been noted that we have to help make our moral views the Law.
Im not saying hes a bad catholic, Im saying its hypocritical use Catholsism to get ahead in the polls, when your NOT reflecting those views.

I guess since you're not a national politician that your own anti-catholic views don't count. Maybe I should pick up my lapsed catholic heritage....I never knew they had become so casual!

He never says hes "for gay marriage" - in fact he "believes its between a man and a woman" but at the same time says that " we have to afford homosexuals their costitional right to marry" - everyone hears what they want to hear.

Speaking of hearing what you want to hear, Kerry has never, never endorsed a "constitutional right to marry" for gays. I don't agree with that, but it's the truth.
Quote:
To make such intrinsically evil actions legal is itself wrong. This is the point most recently highlighted in official Catholic teaching. The legal system as such can be said to cooperate in evil when it fails to protect the lives of those who have no protection except the law. In the United States of America, abortion on demand has been made a constitutional right by a decision of the Supreme Court. Failing to protect the lives of innocent and defenseless members of the human race is to sin against justice. Those who formulate law therefore have an obligation in conscience to work toward correcting morally defective laws, lest they be guilty of cooperating in evil and in sinning against the common good."

I never doubted your strict adherence to the abortion doctrine, I've just pointed out your divergence from Catholicism in other areas. What about your obligation in conscience to work against the war?
