That also had been my prayer that Geraldine Ferraro did confess her sin of abortion support before she died. I believe she claimed to be a Catholic too. Now she knows you cannot be a real Catholic and be for abortion. I just hope she believed that before she died.

This was indeed sad news.

Geraldine Ferraro was truly a trailblazer. Although it is commonplace nowadays for a woman to be in serious competition for a slot on the presidential ticket (at either the top or the bottom), that was not always the case. And in 1984, it was a very big deal for a woman to be a part of a major-party presidetial ticket.

Nonetheless, I am glad that Ronald Reagan won re-election, as his views were considerably closer to mine than Walter Mondale's views were.

But to return to the point: Geraldine Ferraro seemed like a decent and gracious human being. It is sad to see that she has departed the earthly scene.

I didn’t know she had cancer all this time.

Then you must be a hardcore supporter of legalized abortion.

I’ll say a prayer for Geraldine Ferraro and then I’ll say an extra prayer for you as I think you will need it more than her.

You have a very Christian sense of forgiveness and love for all. It does you and the conservative movement credit.
