Is the Catholic Church US Leadership going to stand up for its views?

New Jersey Governor James E. McGreevey will not be allowed to take communion so says the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden, Rev. Joseph Galante on Thursday.

The Church has often seemed to be not willing to enforce Church discipline on people who claim to be Catholic and yet flout Church doctrine. Now while some will scream "separation of Church and State", this is not that issue. The Church is a non public organization and no one is required to belong to the Catholic Church (or any religious institution for that matter) in order to run for office. I'm glad to see the Church say in effect, these are our beliefs and if you do not accept them, DON'T COUNT YOURSELF CATHOLIC.

John Kerry, you have been married and divorced, ok the Church annulled your first wedding, meaning it must never had been consummated (tell that to your daughters from the first marriage) and you support abortion. Why do you consider yourself Catholic? Be honest and say you are not one for you surely are not following the tenants of the Catholic Church. If enough others think you are correct you can form a new Church that meets to your convictions and then you won't have to take grief from those who call you a hypocrite.
