In a chapter of his autobiography, the late Senator Ted Kennedy confessed to having slept with over 1,000 women and spending more than $10 million in hush money to keep his womanizing ways a secret. If you crack open the book, however, you won't find a mention of this in there anywhere. That is because horrified family members and advisers cut it out before the book was published.
A close source also revealed to the National Enquirer that before he died of brain cancer at age 77 on August 25, Kennedy also revealed that he had planned to seduce Mary Jo Kopechne on the night she drowned. The source said:
The source added that Kennedy even admitted to having planned to seduce Kopechne the night his car plunged off the road in Chappaquiddick.
He relented about Mary Jo, but went on to admit that he'd seduced the wives of some of his closest friends and even his brothers' girlfriends."
Ted had hoped his book would tell the truth about his life, but family members decided to hold off on including certain parts of the book out of respect to the family's reputation. Even though it was removed from the book, it seems the revelations leaked out regardless.
He slept with them all at the same time and he was on top so they all suffered the same fate as Mary Jo Kopechne did together.
I was married in the Church and my ex applied for an annulment after 23 years of marriage... Her widower fiance wanted to be married in the Church. When I was notified of the process, I was asked to come in and offer information on our marriage especially in the beginning year. I made the comment to the priest... "Obviously once it's paid for it's a done deal." and actually I really didn't care, but he quickly replied .."Oh no it isn't!" lol well, yes it was... and it was approved.
Why am I telling you this? I know there are problems in any institution run by humankind ... even the Church... especially the Church.
I believe men.. (and I mean "mankind" ) ... are flawed and when flawed human beings are part an institution there are breakdowns and errors... my belief is in the Catholic Faith... not the errors of flawed human beings.
I suggest you might consider returning to your Catholic roots. The ancient Holy Mass with the Consecration, (My belief) can never be replaced by words from any human being from any pulpit in any unconsecrated building with pews.
“I suggest you might consider returning to your Catholic roots”
Never. I respect your commitment to your religion and ask that you respect mine.
