Abortion Play Inspired by John Kerry Banned by Catholic Bishop Revived - Lutherans and Other Denominations Offer Their Sanctuaries for Play and Discussion A month into rehearsals, twenty-five Catholics at a Chicago parish received word that the play they were mounting had been banned by their bishop. On September 14, Bishop Francis J. Kane overruled the parishioners' pastor, Reverend William Kenneally, and asserted that "THE ANSWER" – a play about abortion, politics, and a public family’s travail in the grips of both – could not be performed anywhere in the Archdiocese of Chicago . . . But then pastors from other denominations learned of the banning and responded by offering their sanctuaries as host locations for the play and the common ground-building discussion slated to follow each performance. Now this "ripped from the headlines" drama will be performed as scheduled October 1 – 3, and offer its theatrical story as a creative way to analyze the painfully complex issue of abortion and its role in the selection of an American leader. - 2004-09-27
