In an odd way Mary Jo is a Hero of the Republic. But for her Teddy would have been president for 8 years.

It would have been even worse than Teddy serving as President for 8 years.
His bleeding family, the extended Kennedy family et al, would be considered the Blessed among the old Catholics and we’d still be putting up with them in office.
I recall as a Catholic growing up the Sundays my father would storm out of the church when the priest would be talking about the Kennedys as if they were the latest Saints to be in Heaven.
My dad had to sign paperwork agreeing to raise his offspring Catholic before he could marry my mom. He took that signature seriously. Only time I saw him have fits about the Catholic church was when the Kennedys were elevated during Mass.
