'You cannot serve God and mammon'. Read and absorb this eloquent statement from the Gospel of Matthew. This is the conundrum that people like Ted Kennedy and John Kerry find themselves in.

When the KKK, Mario Cuomo, and Mayor Gavin Newsom invoke their Catholicism to social justice causes but 'compartmentalize' their beliefs on euthanasia, homosexuality, and abortion, they are picking and choosing what they believe. Hence the term 'Cafeteria Catholics' is attached to their names. It would be a bold Bishop to excommunicate these Catholic malcontents because clearly they adhere to the worldly devices while playing lip service to their own faith. They are empty vessels in the ways of the world and God knows their sins and only He will judge them for their actions. Let's pray for the salvation of their souls when the time comes for them to descent into Hell.
