"You cannot have bishops in the pulpit -- long before or the Sunday before the election -- as they did in Catholic churches, saying it was a mortal sin to vote for John Kerry," she said.
Heinz Kerry gave no examples. Last year, a few prelates said they would not allow the Democratic nominee to receive communion in their dioceses. The bishop of Colorado Springs declared that Catholics voting for pro-choice candidates were not welcome at the communion rail.
"The church has a right and obligation to teach values," Heinz Kerry declared. "They don't have a right to restrict freedom of expression, which they did."
Obedience is a virtue. You cannot pick and choose which tenets of a religion you will follow. The hierarchy of the Catholic Church is well defined and the last time I looked Catholics in good standing were subordinate to it.
The unmitigated gall of this woman to condemn the leaders of Catholicism for standing firm in the beliefs of the church.
And so the self ordained sages continue, professing their faith not in God, but in themselves, and wondering why those of us who stand on the Word reject them.
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

Toni, you are so correct. Kerry was granted access to the pulpit at several churches and some of those pastors really put their tax exempt status in danger. I wonder if anyone is actually investigating those incidents.
As for the ketchup lady, Kerry deserves her.
Charlyg, there is wrong doing on both sides but the liberals pride themselves on these kind of tactics and seem to believe the end justifies the means.Unfortunately in many of their endeavors both the ends and the means are indefensible.
