I'm sorry that I'm late to this thread. We have been very busy writing congressmen and protesting. My...it has been exhilarating.
I haven't follow this thread very closely but I wonder what type of funeral the Catholic Church will provide Ted Kennedy. I know that we've discussed this on many other thread. Now we'll see whether the Catholic Church really stands against abortion or not. Does anyone want to take any bets?
Excellent question! A high funeral mass, no doubt.
You were missed, but your efforts are to be congratulated. Good work, Harley!
I bet that Scuba Teddy provided some big donation in his will . . .
and that even if he didn’t
the thanks for the money transferred periodically . . . whether blood money or bribery or whatever . . . even just
‘conscience’ money . . .
that the Bishops involved etc. will be gleeful to pontificate and parade and preen grandly at a grand funeral of such a powerful stooge of satan.
They’ve been doing it all along with the Kennedys. Why would they stop now?
Should we call them CAFETERIA ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS?
I just got off the phone with a friend in WA state who attended a town hall meeting last night. She, too, thought participating was exhilarating. She mentioned that there was some pushing and shoving, because Astroturfers were bussed in and could care less about the local citizens. Tense.
Regarding your question about bets on the Kennedy funeral, I will put my money on a grandiose Catholic Mass celebrating his life and all he has done in the name of his faith. Probably televised. Catholic Church against abortion, but not in favor of exercizing authority and taking a stand against sin practiced in public by their communicant members.
Post of the day!
From the thread The funeral arrangements (for Teddy):
The senator’s funeral Mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica, 1545 Tremont St., Mission Hill, on Saturday. President Obama is expected to deliver the eulogy. Entrance is by invitation only, but the 10:30 a.m. two-hour service will be televised.
The type of burial given to Teddy may tell you something about the state of the Catholic Church in Massachusetts, or a least the part of it where Teddy lived. In time-honored FR religion forum tradition of course, that will be conveniently extrapolated, run with and stretched to the point where we can make a little mischief regarding the overall mission of the Church.
Pay attention and try to keep up.
FYI, the main obstacle in the path of the UN on its way to declaring abortion to be a universal human "right" is the Vatican and has been for some time. Oh, make that the Vatican and a few Islamic countries.
Ironic, isn't it?
Our beloved US of A (the country the Vatican wants to take over) has sadly been out to lunch in this battle for quite some time. Sad, isn't it?
Glad I could help.
