Excellent article on Catholic vote for Kerry!
I believe profoundly in the Constitution of the United States, and I support a president who will uphold it as his primary duty. Kerry believes the same, and for that reason, and a host of others, he will get my vote and those of millions of other like-minded American
Catholics.

2. I don't know how to bring it to the attention of others
except to reply to it myself. It seems that sometimes people will only read the posts that have a lot of replies. I guess I am guilty of thinking that I know what everyone needs to be reading. Anyway.

3. Bravo!
I am a Catholic and am disgusted by the Church's blatant politics at Kerry's (and the nation's) expense.

8. Some bishops, not all bishops
There seems to be a more-Catholic-than-thou attitude amongst some clergy, like that idiot in Colorado. No one in my church has told me how to vote.

5. Voting for Kerry Declared A "Sin" by Archbishop
I was appalled to read that Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Colorado stated that any Catholic that votes for John Kerry should confess that sin before receiving holy communion.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/12/politics/campaign/12catholics.html?ex=1098504000&en=1d39541030856555&ei=5070

I just don't understand who on God's green earth these people think they are coming out with this kind of stuff. I let the Archbishop know how I felt about his comment, and I hope you will too.

7. Great article...thanks!
I happen to be a life-long Democrat, and Catholic, with strong Irish-Catholic beliefs. And, by golly, it's not the Church's business how I, or anyone else, vote.
