I don’t think that’s correct. It wasn’t my intention.

But you said in another post that you maybe thought I was defending Kennedy and now that I’m casting the Catholic Church as ‘bastards?” Neither is what I was intending nor trying to do. So I’m a little confused by this exchange.

I don’t like what transpired during Kennedy’s funeral. I didn’t watch any of it (I was sure I couldn’t stomach it) so just going by what I’ve read. It upsets me that his funeral Mass was conducted this way. That it was permitted to be conducted this way, but being practical I know it happens.

There’s a disconnect between Rome (The Catholic Church) and the American Catholic Church. I’ve seen it for at least 30 years or so and I’m sure it’s been going on longer than that. There’s not much I can do there so I focus on my own parish. My parish is where I can make changes or at least help make changes.

Here's your original post: I already know the definition and also know the history of the Catholic Church. Maybe you should read up more on them? You’re the one that appears to be confused with the “bastards” thing. It is I that am confused by this exchange.
