[Art Kelly]

Well, first of all, the Spectator is NOT a Catholic
publication. I don't know if they know what they are
writing about on Kerry or not. 

Second, red flags go up whenever I see any publication
refer the the Catholic Church as the Roman Catholic
Church, which is a term invented by Anglicans.

Third, without talking to Kerry, no priest in Idaho
could know the state of his soul. 

While he could be told, by a priest who knows him, not
to receive Communion, it is theoretically possible
(NOT probable at all) that a liberal politican could
be strongly opposed to abortion (with some kind of
documented personal action to support this), while
believing that criminalizing it would be
counter-productive.

So, a priest would need to know all of the facts.

Fourth, I'm concerned about a news item indicating
that Kerry attended a Baptist Church last Sunday
and--get this!--received "communion" there. There was
no indication whether he also attended a Catholic Mass
that day.
