Joe Kennedy is a creep for multiple reasons. Get this:
Excerpt from "Shattered Faith: A Woman's Struggle to Stop the Catholic Church from Annulling Her Marriage," dust jacket: "In 1993 Sheila Rauch Kennedy received a letter from the Boston Catholic Archdiocese announcing that her former husband, Congressman Joseph Kennedy, was seeking an annulment of their marriage. If the Church granted the annulment the marriage, which had lasted twelve years, would be rendered nonexistent -- not simply ended, as was stated in the divorce decree, but invalid from the start. And their two sons would be regarded as children of an unsanctified union. Joe Kennedy needed the annulment to remarry within the Church, and he encouraged his wife to ignore the details. But stunned by the hypocrisy of the process and the betrayal of trust it involved, Kennedy was determined to defend the legitimacy of her former marriage."

Sheila Rauch Kennedy is no defender of Catholic marriage. She was honored by Call to Action because of her opposition to annulments.
