[quote name='Phazzan' date='Aug 28 2004, 10:44 AM'] I'm sure if we judged every Catholic the same way you's do John Kerry those numbers would be a lot less. [/quote]
Aye. I agree. How many of those people are practicing Catholics with a living faith?

Sadly, not as many as there should be. You sign up with a parish, and so technically you belong, even if you fall away, or neglect your Faith.

God bless,

Mikey
