1. Done - 71% no

2. Most of the Catholics I know (myself included) should be excommunicated

by that standard. And that isn't going to happen, because they need our envelope in the basket this Sunday. :hi: My son's kindergarten teacher actually walked out of church on Sunday after the priest started sermonizing about Proposal 2 (DOMA) and how Catholics must support it. The Archdioceses of Detroit has actually given a quarter of a million dollars to the proposal 2 group. That's not my faith. :hi:

4. At least half of all Catholics need to be excommunicated then. I guess

that would help with the priest shortage.

3. Done--overwhelmingly no. BTW, Christianity.com is far from

fundamentalist (I know you didn't indicate that it was, but some DUers jump to conclusions).

It has members from all points on the Christion spectrum, liberal to ultra-fundamentalist.

5. Hitler was never excommunicated ....

So how would it reflect on the Catholic Church, if Kerry was?

It makes them look like a tool of the powerful.
Like they're playing power politics.
Like they're really a old pagan fertility religion.

Worship fertility; condoms are bad.
Worship fertility; abortion is murder.
Worship fertility; recycle a "mother of god" from the Greeks.
Worship fertility; don't use birth control.
Worship fertility; don't teach sex ed.

Ok, I'm sorry. I think Catholicism is pretty cool actually, but they do have some nutty sides.

6. Too many lately. It is very hard to walk into church on Sunday sometimes.

:hi: It is definitely not the church I was raised in lately. :hi:
