Vatican Cardinal Signals Backing for Sanctions on Kerry

Addressing a question about Senator John Kerry's support for abortion rights, a high-ranking Vatican cardinal said in a news conference in Rome yesterday that a Roman Catholic politician who supports abortion "is not fit" to receive communion.
The official, Cardinal Francis Arinze, refused to comment directly on Mr. Kerry, a Catholic who frequently takes communion, but his statement was the Vatican's strongest on the issue in recent months. It came only hours before Mr. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, told a women's rights rally in Washington that if elected he would work to preserve abortion rights.
