Chruch doctrine says there can be no abortion, no divorse, and no birth control. You are saying a devout (your definition) McGreevey must ban abortion, divorse, and birth control. Yes or no. Its not a complex question. Because he is a devout Catholic, then he must ban abortion, divorse, and birth control?

And the simple answer, I think he should vote for those things to be banned. Yes. We know one man can't ban anything by himself. But he was elected (at least partially) on the grounds the he is Catholic, so I would expect him to vote in accordance to his beliefs. That's why I voted him in there, isn't it?? And he labelled himself as "devout", I didn't.

de·vout ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-vout)
adj. de·vout·er, de·vout·est
Devoted to religion or to the fulfillment of religious obligations. See Synonyms at religious.
Displaying reverence or piety.
Sincere; earnest: devout wishes for their success.

So if someone says "I am a devout (insert religion here)", I EXPECT that person to be devoted to that religion, and VOTE in accordance with those beliefs.
