Kerry and the Church

A senior staff member in the Kerry campaign, commneting after Sen. John Kerry attended Mass at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Idaho, from Kerry Catholicism a "Media-Op" Church Scandal:
    "'It was just a media-op. We set it up with some reporters that we knew were going to be there."

The article also states that Kerry, not a regular church-goer, received Holy Communion. Avoiding Sunday obligation and support for abortion both being mortal sins, Kerry should have abstained from Communion, or have sought the Sacrament of Reconciliation beforehand. Perhaps he did the latter. If so, he should have repudiated his pro-abortion views publicly immediately afterwards to avoid Scandal.
