Teresa Heinz Kerry hasn't lost her outspoken way: "THE CATHOLIC CHURCH: A practicing Catholic, as is her husband, Heinz Kerry remains outraged at attacks by bishops on her husband's pro-choice views.

'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 ultraconservative 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.'"

The catholic Church should stay the hell out of politics until it can decide whether the murder of even one innocent Iraqi (Vote for Bush) is more godly than the choice of a preteen victim of incest rape, bringing more baby rape victims into the world (so the bishops have more playthings?)
