A Lawsuit Against Kerry

Andrew Sullivan linked to an interesting article about a lawsuit against John Kerry. In itself, a lawsuit would not be surprising given the litigious nature of our society. This one however, is a little different.
A Catholic lawyer has filed heresy charges against Sen. John Kerry with the Archdiocese of Boston, accusing the Democratic presidential candidate of bringing "most serious scandal to the American public" by receiving Holy Communion as a pro-choice Catholic.

If the Boston Archdiocese, which is refusing comment on the case, decided to press heresy charges, the Massachusetts senator could be excommunicated.
