Plus he’s being buried in Arlington, not in consecrated ground and Pope Benedict XVI silence speaks volumes. He has completely snubbed the Kennedy’s.
Edward is being temporarily buried at Arlington. The day will come when he will be exhumed.
I think that the spineless DC Archbishop Wuerl or whoever the diocesan ordinary may be will see to the consecration of his burial plot. Some may not know that Arlington National Cemetery is Robert E. Lee’s front lawn, confiscated (probably unconstitutionally/5th Amendment) after the Unpleasantness Between the States of 1861-1865. For Robert E. Lee, one of the finest men to ever grace our land, the punishment seems never to end. On earth at least, Teddy’s punishment never seems to begin. May the Vatican and B-XVI continue their dignified and appropriate silence.
