Regarding Len Docimo's letter ("Other religious beliefs also deserve sensitivity," Feb. 17), where he argues that Democratic liberals cross the line "with impunity" between disagreeing with and maligning Roman Catholics, how about Democrats Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Tom Daschle, Christopher Dodd, Richard Durbin, Patrick Leahy, Nancy Pelosi, John Dingell, Dennis Kucinich, Charlie Rangel?
Are they not all liberals? Are they not all Roman Catholics?

Liberals? Oh yes!
Roman Catholics? Only when politically beneficial.

I'm so glad people calling themselves conservatives are beyond using religion for political purposes.
A pox on any politician that uses his faith for such low purpose.

Can I truly be a liberal if I don't believe in abortion? I sure can't be a true Roman Catholic if I do...

As always, Rev. Charles Hawes writes great letters and this one is no exception. Too bad most of the conservatives can't see their hypocrisy. Thanks Rufus for pointing out what is obvious to most, but not to J.C. Burcham. Conservatives have used religion to beat everyone and everything over the head, and now those chickens are beginning to come home to roost...."cock-a-doodle dooo"
