Kerry's campaign manager visited the Cardinal of the Catholic cathedral. He told
the Cardinal that John Kerry would be attending the next day's sermon, and he
asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Kerry to the congregation and say a
few words that would include calling Kerry a saint.</FONT></SPAN></P>

there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Kerry's
views."</FONT></SPAN></P>

and now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the
congregation you see Kerry as a saint.</FONT></SPAN></P>

can use the money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's
sermon.”</FONT></SPAN></P>

Sunday sermon and seated himself prominently at the edge of the main
aisle.</FONT></SPAN></P>

color=#333333 size=2>And, during the sermon, as promised, the Cardinal pointed
out that Senator Kerry was present. Then the Cardinal went on to explain to the
congregation, "While Senator Kerry's presence is probably an honor to some, he
is not my favorite person. Some of his views are contrary to those of the
church, and he tends to flip-flop on many other views. John Kerry is a petty,
self absorbed hypocrite, anal thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. John Kerry is a
serial liar, a cheat, and a thief.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN><SPAN

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial
color=#333333 size=2>“John Kerry is the worst example of a Catholic I've ever
personally witnessed. He turned on his buddies in Viet Nam. He wrote a book and
portrayed himself in the best light when he was a traitor to his fellow
servicemen. He has lied about his military record and had the gall to put
himself in for a medal including the Silver Star with V, which does not
exist.</FONT></SPAN></P>

American people. He also has a reputation for shirking his senatorial
obligations both here, in Washington, and in Massachusetts. He simply isn't to
be trusted."</FONT></SPAN></P>

compared to Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Kerry is a saint."</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
