If ever a man had to be stopped in his tracks, it's Mr Ratzinger and his fascist Opus Dei cult members. Free votes for free people. We don't need ex SS Hitler stormtroopers telling us how to vote.

The founding fathers mentioned God enough times oficially that it is clear they had no trouble with the government acknowledging a deity. bill, your line is cute, but quite unconvincing. jay, the Church does not pretend to know the hearts and souls of those who voted for Kerry. The Church does not send souls to hell. God does. If some, or all of them go to hell, that is between them and God. ditch, bill and jay, I disagree with all of you.

After all, the Church did so in the previous US elections. See "Double Cross: The Code of the Catholic Church by David Ranan. In 2004, the message was 'if you vote for Kerry, you would go to hell.'

The final sentence of the piece is thus factually incorrect. (2) The Pope can tell catholics to do whatever he wishes, but this should have no bearing whatsoever on what non-catholics think, say or do - especially when it comes to their democratic rights.
