John Kerry is pro-choice-to-murder-your-child Catholic. While several bishops refused to offer him communion, there were no calls for excommunication. I take it that it is not a grevious enough sin to get ejected from the faith.
You really can't have it both ways.

The question was "Can you be Catholic and pro-abortion?".
My points were:
Very few people are pro-abortion, however many of us think that everyone ought to have a choice.
The Catholic church did not feel strongly enough about the matter to excommunicate or even censure John Kerry for his very public pro-choice views and campaign platform.
Your point is what?
If the church doesn't have the balls to excommunicate a presidential candidate for publicly contradicting their edicts, then it must be ok for the rest of us, too. The church really needs to clean up their own act before preaching morality to the reat of us.
