Don’t be JFK, says a Colorado priest A Roman Catholic priest caused a stir on the House floor Tuesday when he urged lawmakers to let religious faith guide their votes and “be the antithesis of John Kennedy.” While delivering the chamber’s morning prayer, the Rev.

In some of the comments on Kerry, I’ve read something along the lines of “well, he must just believe in communion as just a symbol of unity or something, rather than as the Real Presence.” Well, when it comes to Eucharist, there is no “just” a symbol of unity. Comm-union. In this, we are joined,…

Terry Mattingly takes a look at some of the coverage The issue for the Catholic bishops is whether these doctrines (and Vatican directives) have any authority in their zip codes. If they are able to make up their minds — a huge “if” — they face the wrath of the authority that many of them…
