>>And the frustration of members such as you who would prefer more orthodoxy is another. I don't advocate more orthodoxy in the church. My solution is to get abortion out of the national arena, defederalize it. Then, if you want to live in a state where abortion is legal, or illegal, then work to change the laws of your state, or move. I think the church heirarchy is taking a big gamble if they openly force Kerry to recant or refuse him communion, but it's within the legal options of the church. Canon law, that is.

I will try to be brief...I found that post illuminating. You are a Catholic who does not practise Catholicism and you do not adhere to the orders of Catholic leaders, but you still want to be a Catholic with no penalty. The line military members must follow is not so flaky. They must follow legal orders, even orders they disagree with for religious, moral, personal, or any other reason, or go to jail. You can be a Catholic who refuses orders and avoid penalties here. Kerry and Kennedy have already proven that. That option is not open to soldiers on duty. I don't believe soldiers who leave the military at the end of their obligation, because of Kerry, will become less of a patriot. Thery will still be willing to fight for America...but they will look for adult leadership.
