  NOT A PRODIGAL SON
  By Deborah Caldwell (Beliefnet's Senior Religion
  Correspondent)

  John Kerry was never a Prodigal Son. His faith journey
  contains no leave-taking and triumphant return, no
  revival, no conversion on the road to Damascus. Unlike
  President Bush--a Protestant who experienced a
  profound conversion at age 40 under the Rev. Billy
  Graham's tutelage--Kerry has been a steady,
  churchgoing Catholic literally since the day he was
  born. .............
