A lawyer has filed heresy charges against John Kerry with the Archdiocese of Boston (see it here).

Mr. Balestrieri said he filed the heresy charge � plus an additional complaint charging "harm" to himself as a result of Mr. Kerry's pronouncements on abortion and related issues � because canon law entitles Catholics to "possession of the faith unharmed."

"By spreading heresy, he is endangering not just mine by every Catholic's possession of the faith," he said.

"I am inviting all baptized Catholics who feel injured by Kerry to join the suit as third parties" by reading the document on the Web site and then sending a certified letter of agreement to the Boston Archdiocese.

"People are saying you can be pro-choice and be a good Christian, that it is not contrary to the faith to support aborted murder," Mr. Balestrieri said. "This is a life-threatening heresy."

This is just way over the top, and I see no good that can come of it - not for Kerry, not for Bush, not for mr. Balestrieri and not for the Church.
