This shows the demise of the Catholic Church. If any bishop had any credibility, they would excommunicate all of these murderers; Biden, Pelosi, Landrieu, Kennedy and many others. The church is afraid of these people and it is not for their donations……they don’t give to charity. Archbishop Philip Hannan was the advisor to JFK……that’s something to brag about. He attended the funeral of Ted this weekend. Hannan thinks he is one of the elite……he has lost his faith just like these politicians. He has sold his soul for power!

“But he came back on his own terms. He made a form of peace with the Church.”

I won’t presume to dismiss the possibility of a death-bed conversion, but one does not return to a state of grace on one’s “own terms.” Rejecting God’s will and following our own personal code of morality, or immorality, is what separates us from God.

The idea that anyone would hold Mr. Kennedy up as some sort of a Catholic icon is offensive.

Wow, John–you leave nothing to be said! Except maybe “Amen”. Thanks!

The Gospel reading from today’s Mass says it all: “Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; and in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine the precepts of men.’ ”

Both Matthew and Mark record this, and I believe that Jesus held His highest contempt for hypocrisy above all sin. I see some of this type every Sunday and it baffles me no end.

I think the conversation may go something like this. Teddy: Er a hello Jesus it’s me Teddy. Jesus: Depart form me you worker of iniquity. I never knew you.

I have a good friend that had an abortion and has suffered ever since. She’s been through that Project Rachel and the retreats that are offered. You’re right that you excommunicated if you have had, or facilitated one. After this Mass for the babies the women and a few men that were there were invited to come back to communion. I went with her to the service which was really beautiful.
I agree that all these pro-choice Catholics and their bishops, Cardinals, etc. should be ex communicated.

As I understand it, someone who either procures an abortion for themselves or facilitates an abortion for others falls under excommunicato latae sententae. I could be totally wrong on this by their actions they have excomunicated themselves. No inquiry, no cleric involvement, nothing. Therefore if they have done so, and they present themselves for the Eucharist, they are doing so unworthily and are committing another serious sin.

You are absolutely right, Dan. The bishops et al., should be excommunicated right along with them for allowing this sacriledge.

Celina, that article was right on the money! I could not agree more.

This man was not a Catholic! He just used it when he needed it. Just like Pelosi, Biden, Landrieu, etc. They all should have been excommunicated many years ago for the terrible things they have endorsed and voted for. But they are not soley to blame. The Catholic Bishops and priest that have stood by their sides and have not denounced them should also be excommunicated for not following their faith (especially Archbishop Philip Hannan.) They are all a disgrace. Ted Kennedy was the icon of hypocrisy. May the eternal flame on the Kennedy grave burn ever bright!

Having the most pro-abortion president in the History of the U.S. speaking from the pulpit, and the probable unworthy reception of Holy Communion by a flock of faux (liberal) pro-abort Catholics is probably enough to qualify this event as a MODERN DAY ‘ABOMINATION IN THE HOLY PLACE.’

‘Zeal for His house consumes me.’
May Jesus Christ help us.

His faith wasn’t Catholicism, it was liberalism. I sincerely pray for the repose of his soul. Especially considering how many innocent lives he facilitated the slaughter of.

This may sound harsh but I think it is right on the money.

“Ted Kennedy’s Quiet Catholic Faith”

He had to be quiet about his Catholic faith. It was nonexistant!

Which went first, the Ten Commandments or the Constitution?

Teddie was about as Catholic as he was a public servant.

From the Bible, written in red .. “There are those who say they know me, but don’t!”.

Teddy was as much a Catholic as Arnold Swartzeneggar is female impersonating a man.
