Do not care about any church. Arlington is the most sacred ground in this country.

I said consecrated, not sacred. I do agree that Arlington should not be sullied with this man’s remains either, but it could well be that the Church refused to allow him to be buried in a Catholic cemetery.

I heard that ANY Senator can be buried at Arlington. TK did serve the minimum requirement in military in his day. But it is somewhat annoying that he can be buried there but so many others who have served more nobly (imo) are turned away for ‘lack of space’ and buried at other national cemeteries.
