If you're a catholic, supporting this war goes against the words of the Pope.
But you now support it, as you thought it was "necessary" and you don't even pretend to work against it. The Pope has made clear the position of the Catholic Church as it concerns the Iraq war. Regardless of whether the Vatican has an escape clause regarding "just" war, they have chosen not to exercise it in this case. Your complaint revolved around Kerry claiming to be Catholic while taking non-Catholic stances. I've just tried to illustrate how that trait is not so uncommon even amongst his Catholic detractors.

I dont "support" the war. It think the war on terror is necessary - that doesnt mean i support it- I'm not for or against it- but it was necessary. I'm unsure about where by not even "pretending to work against it" has to do with this issue. I dont go to war protests- but that doesnt mean Im not against it.
If you support same sex marriage you are not following the Catholic Doctrine.
And yes actually according to the catholic doctrine we must "endorse" every catholic belife. as I quoted above its our duty to make sure that the law of the land reflects our own moral laws.
Plain and simple. If your not a Catholic(?) then this isnt worth discussing ( most non-catholics view the churche's belief at precisly what kerry calls it
extreme right wing ideology) and if you are Catholic I neednt be arguing with you as there are better ways for you to pertain the Churchs stances and beliefs - from your pastor. In which case How can you be for same sex marriage if the pope is against it? I feel it would be a bit hypocritical for you to critisize me for saying the war is necessary when you believe Gays should marry.
I believe that sometimes police must use force to capture a criminal- that it is necessary for them to do their jobs- but that doesn't mean I support their using it ( i would rather they didnt - but if they deemed they had to- then so be it).
Its a grey area and im having trouble explaining myself- but as i stated about it would be hypocritical for you to critisize me on it when you believe gays should marry.
