Cry of the Poor

"How can it be that even today there are still people dying of hunger? Condemned to illiteracy? Lacking the most basic medical care? Without a roof over their heads? . . .

"Christians must learn to make their act of faith in Christ by discerning His voice in the cry for help that rises from this world of poverty."
Pope John Paul II
Novo Millennio Ineunte, no. 50

The so called "Bushilics" are not angry about the decision of the Bishops. We are happy that they actually took a stand. We are happy that if a Bishop wishes to make the decision to not give candidate Kerry communion they can do so, or they don't have to. One of the problems that Mr Kerry has in my opinion with the church is that he is publically defying the Catechism and making excuses that he represents all these consituants. He is not a policeman. He does not have an obligation to force people to follow the laws of the land, and frankly if he thinks that the law is a bad one, he does have the option of trying to change it. He hasn't done that. That is the reason that us so called "Bushilics" and you so nice and polite Kerry people are disagreeing. I believe that President Bush has made a sincere effort to reduce abortion, to get judges placed that were more pro life friendly, and that if he had the chance to have a supreme court justice that was prolife on the bench.. we would have him/her. That reminds me of the tax rebates, if he thought they were so awful which he has stated, why didn't he give his back to the middle working class?

Theodore Roosevelt

"To announce that there should be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American people."
