The funeral will be held at The Mission Church of Boston.

I don’t think this is a regular RTC Chgurch. It may be one of those outside the limits churches attended by leftists who call themselves Catholics like Kerry and Kennedy. Those who support abortion, are divorced and remarried.
How does the Catholic Church explain a Catholic funeral for Teddy?
Certainly will not be a High Requiem Mass presided over by the Archbishop of Boston.
Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley, who blogged affectionately about Kennedy’s sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, after her recent death, has declined requests for interviews about Kennedy. He has issued only a cautious written statement, saying “we mourn the passing of Senator Edward M. Kennedy’’ and describing the senator as “often a champion for the poor, the less fortunate, and those seeking a better life.’’ But O’Malley has been sharply critical of Catholic Democrats who support abortion rights, and has said that for Catholics to vote for such politicians “borders on scandal.’’http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/08/28/kennedys_complex_legacy_as_a_catholic/?page=2
That may not be all that we would wish but it is quite a slap to not have him saying the funeral.
I believe it’s a Roman Catholic Church, though not a parish Church.
