Teresa Heinz Kerry sidestepped the question of whether Burke's comments might hurt her husband's chances among fellow Catholics, and noted instead that Catholics don't always agree with the church's views. As an example, she cited the church's opposition to birth control. "I don't think it reflects the sentiment of most of the Catholics I know," she said.We don't agree with church views - It doesn't reflect our "sentiments" - These poor confused souls!
"In her compendium of values", she offers up the problem of predatory priests.
Kerry said she reluctantly supported abortion rights because "in my compendium of values, a woman facing abortion must be up the creek" and feel there is no other option. Society and government offer little help, she added, because they tend to ignore the problems - such as a child sexually assaulted by a parent - that need to be addressed.
That statement reflects one's pure stupidity and ignorance. Teresa Heinz Kerry, a professed Catholic, was in town to stump for her hubby, the presumed presidential candidate, John F Kerry. Lucky Johnny!
However, she emphasized that there's a difference between church teachings and government mandates on such issues. "You cannot legislate morality, you can't mandate it," she said.
