[AKA Elena]

Thanks! I was not going to argue all of your good points -- it seemed futile. Someone else (yourself, in this case) made my case for me.

I am scandalized by my beloved Brethren in Faith. I am ashamed of the tributes that were thrown around in disregard of the true evils that were in great part ... part and parcel and synonymous with the Kennedy name.

As another who comes of good old Irish stock ... I never felt the burden of Catholicity as I grew up.

There were many godly priests who also defended my stance ... many of their words were written here on FR today.

I could not bring myself to listen to, watch or otherwise support or participate in this terrible farce wrought upon my Faith.

Again, thank you and May the Good Lord Take a Likin' To Ya' -- Eileen

I feel the same .. I was sickened by it and
wrote a longer, more specifically detailed
letter than yours, with a copy to the Vatican.

It was awful to witness this travesty, and
Cardinal O’Malley sullied his authority of
official prominence in the Church by his
visible presence and participation.
