President Obama to deliver eulogy at Kennedy’s funeral
The Boston Globe ^ | 8/26/09 | Bryan Bender, Michael Paulson, Matt Viser, and Noah Bierman, Globe Staff

Posted on 08/26/2009 6:10:48 PM PDT by Joy in the Journey

President Barack Obama will deliver a eulogy at US Senator Edward M. Kennedy's funeral Mass on Saturday, a White House official has told the Globe.

Kennedy's funeral will be held at a time yet to be determined Saturday morning at The Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the Mission Hill section of Boston. Commonly known as the Mission Church, the 1,450-seat basilica on Tremont Street was built in the 1870s. Kennedy prayed there in 2003 while his daughter, Kara, was being treated for lung cancer.

It disturbs me that the Catholic Church is going to celebrate the life of a demon who was instrumental in killing 50,000,000+ babies! Worse, the Church is also going to allow a person, who not only promotes abortion and partial birth abortion but also supports the killing of a baby in a botched abortion, to deliver the eulogy!

That is known only to his confessor and Almighty God.

However, based on his lifetime of work and his failure to publicly repent, do penance and renounce his sins he should not be given a funeral Mass and Obowma should not be granted access to the Cathedral, IMO.

Can. 1184 §1 Church funeral rites are to be denied to the following, unless they gave some signs of repentance before death:

1° notorious apostates, heretics and schismatics;

2° those who for anti-christian motives chose that their bodies be cremated;

3° other manifest sinners to whom a Church funeral could not be granted without public scandal to the faithful.

§2 If any doubt occurs, the local Ordinary is to be consulted and his judgement followed.

In addition, according to the Order of Christian Funerals in The Rites of the Catholic Church, there are no eulogies at a funeral Mass. O'Malley is allowing the Archdiocese of Boston, Canon Law and the faith to be mocked by both the Kennedy's and Barry Soetoro.

The Church is always hopeful that a sinner will repent, even if it is at the last second. God is Mercy and Love and will give him his just reward. It is for us to pray for the repose of his soul and for comfort for his family). Jesus died for the Kennedys too. God desires the salvation of souls, Satan desires eternal damnation for them.

boy would I love to hear what God has to say to Kennedy at the Pearly Gates.

Pearly Gates? How about the final judgment for the condemned?

‘Or as Chris Matthews said this morning,Obama is the fourth Kennedy brother.’

if Matthews called Zero the fourth Kennedy brother, then Chrissy would be very wrong. There were 4 Kennedy sons. People forget about Joe, who died in WWII.

Thanks to both of you for your replies. I know judgment is reserved for God alone but I share the concern of the faithful regarding the moral implications of such a mass, from my Protestant side of the aisle. Grace and peace to you.

Statues of Mary have been alleged to weep from time to time.

If this cathedral has one, watch during this service for it to upchuck.

Correction: The Archdiocese of Boston. In the grand scheme of things the Archdiocese of Boston, long known as a cesspool of apostasy and heretics, is but a drop of water in the Church.
