SUN VALLEY, Idaho, March 23, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - John Kerry made a campaign stop in Idaho over the weekend, including a stop for Mass at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church. Mass began at 10:30; Kerry, who was provided with a two-pew cordoned-off VIP section, arrived loudly at 10:41 -- in a ski suit.
To make matters worse, Kerry received Holy Communion despite the fact that he is not a Catholic in good standing, and does not normally attend Mass.
"It was just a media-op," a senior staff member in the Kerry campaign told the American Spectator. "We set it up with some reporters that we knew were going to be there."
John Kerry, who does not hesitate to promote himself as a Catholic, has made a point of highlighting his support for abortion with no restrictions. He was praised by the abortion extremist group NARAL Pro-Choice America as having a 100% pro-abortion voting record.
See the LifeSiteNews.com special report, which also reveals that Kerry, as an elected official, said he must separate his personal religious views from his actions as a legislator and that it is not "appropriate in the United States for a legislator to legislate personal religious beliefs for the rest of the country," at:
