I read an article this morning asking if
Kerry is Catholic enough for the
American public. Unfortunately, to the press and the American public, the number
of times the word, god, is sprinkled into speeches is the measure of devotion.

Take Bush for example, today the smiling Bush family is plastered across
the papers walking into their United Methodist Church on Easter morning. We know
Bush is a devout Christian who takes his religion seriously. Right? He does
talk about God and Christ an awful lot. What does his own church have to say
on the matter? They have been silent lately but not long ago it was made clear
that there is a huge rift between Bush and the church he claims to love so
much.

this:

"Jim Winkler, head of social policy for United Methodists, added that all
attempts at a 'dialogue' between the President and his own church over the
war had fallen on deaf ears at the White House. "

and
this:

“Preemptive war is immoral and illegal,” Edgar said. “It
is theologically illegitimate and profoundly violates our Christian beliefs
and religious principles. As disciples of the Prince of Peace, we know that
war is completely antithetical to Jesus’ teachings.”
