Without a Prayer

Bishops and St. John Kerry. Pigs and other animal meat. Girlie geeks. Among the abducted. Mr./Ms. Cassell. PLUS: William Tucker’s "Kerry Nightmare" recast.
p> IN KERRY'S CORNER br> Re: George Neumayr's Kerry's Auxiliary Bishops : /p>

George Neumayr shows how the Seamless Garment allows Catholics, with John Kerry, to take a more contemplative view of the life issues. Our Bishops point out that the nuanced complexity of the life issues go well beyond reproductive health care. They ask us to consider capital punishment, living wage, environmental concerns and social justice.

Politicians like President Bush want to box in the Catholic vote with a simplistic position on choice. Our Bishops think outside this box.

p>Which is why I am no longer pro-life, but simply an anti-abortion Catholic. br> -- Dan Martin br> Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania /p> p> Just read George Neumayr's article "Kerry's Auxiliary Bishops." Great piece. Thought it very interesting that I attended a Theology meeting last week titled "Catholicism in Politics." The intent was to clear up any election questions for people in our parish. We were given the whole deal, as Mr. Neumayr says, about looking at all the issues and treating them equally. The Deacon said the same things mentioned in the article. He even passed out an "election scorecard"! I was outraged that they would consider several key issues on the same level as others which are minor at best. We have long felt that our church leadership was quietly liberal. Now this! br> Any more info on this "scorecard"? Its origins?
