Heresy
20 October 2004
The Bush-Cheney campaign has funded the publishing of five full-page ads containing "An Open Letter from Fellow Catholics to John Kerry." The ad challenges the sincerity of Kerry's faith in light of his stance on abortion rights, and is signed by 38 prominent Catholics, including Sen. Rick Santorum, American Catholic Council President Connie Marshner and former Major League Baseball Commissioner, Bowie Kuhn. On another front of the attack on Kerry's Godliness, the efforts of a conservative canon lawyer to have Kerry excommunicated as a heretic for his support of abortion rights will likely be thwarted as an unnamed Vatican official told the official Vatican news service that support for abortion rights itself was not grounds for automatic excommunication.
