There won't be an excommunication, I'm sure. My guess is that that letter sends the message they want to send to Catholic voters, but that they know that there would be a bigtime backlash if excommunication were to take place, so it will idle in the background as it is, doing its work simply with the fumes of the idle.

I may be wrong (I hope I'm not), but I believe that even the majority of fundamentalist Christians would disapprove of a religious edict from Rome so clearly calculated to manipulate an American election.

If they wouldn't know on their own that excommunication would give Kerry the election, the Bush campaign wouldn't be shy about informing them.

If polls show Bush as the loser, though, there is no desperate measure that would surprise me.

JFK said, "I do not speak for my church on public matters - and the church does not speak for me."

But of course that was then, this is now.
