* US Vice President and presidential candidate Al Gore was vetoed in his attempt to appeal to Catholics by campaigning at a Catholic hospital.  Bishop James C. Timlin refused Gore’s appearance due to Gore’s pro-abortion stance. “The Mercy Hospital has decided not to give Vice President Gore a platform, lest there be any misunderstanding about the hospital’s Catholic identity and its commitment to the sanctity of life,” Bishop Timlin said Wednesday.
