Catholic Bishops are not endorsing Bush
Separation of Church and State:

A Message for my fellow Catholics for Kerry.

Just for the record the media is dead wrong when they try to make it look like Archbishops came out for Bush. I wrote the Archbishop Chaput and he said don't believe what others tell you until you read my transcripts. He was kind enough to send me transcripts and in those transcripts he mentioned something I thought was great. And that is would these same catholic republicans say he is against Guliani and they shouldn't vote for him?
He also sent me articles he wrote against the Iraq war and the Death Penalty.

I think one of the best points that Kerry made was in his acceptance speech where he said, "Let us not say that God is on our side but we are on God's side."

May this find all of you happy and well,
Vinnie Vin

2. I'm converting right now...
And I read their literature about what they believe and don't believe... And Bush stands for 85% of what they don't believe in. I think just because they are a semi-strict Christian order, Bush's people believe that they should be for bush just because of his "profession of faith". But I can tell you I pray a lot too, and while I'd be telling the truth, Bush is too wrapped up in several of the deadly sins to even care about God right now.
