Kerry's Faith
As usual, TIME is confused. Nevertheless, they "report":
"How might the rift between Kerry and the church he calls a 'bedrock of values, of sureness about who I am' affect the election? Catholics are among the narrow slice of the electorate considered truly up for grabs this year, and they constitute a major share of the voters in the Midwestern and Southwestern swing states. Those who are most strongly antiabortion are probably already in Bush's camp. But many Catholics are, like Kerry, struggling with contradictions between the church's teachings and what they practice. Still others say abortion is not the only issue that matters when they vote. 'There are literally millions of American Catholics who struggle with different feelings and different issues at different times,' Kerry says. In the Democratic primaries, Kerry ran particularly strong among Catholics—winning significantly larger shares of their votes in states like New Hampshire, Missouri and Tennessee than he received from Protestants"
