In regard to Kennedy, I am confused after reading many of the posts today; posts made by Catholics. Some think that Teddy went straight to hell; some think he may have had a deathbed conversion, and so on. IIRC, anyone who is baptized Catholic is a member of the RCC. Wouldn’t that mean that Teddy would be in purgatory because of unrepentant sin? The prayers of thousands of Catholic Democrats are probably praying him into heaven right now. So why shouldn’t he have a grand Catholic funeral? No hyprocrisy there.
