How does this square with the fact that a Roman Catholic cardinal officiated at Ted Kennedy’s requiem mass???

The Catholic Church has become so weak and mixed up morally. They give an extremely mixed message to the world. They have no excuse whatsoever to allow those that promote abortion and gay "rights" including a debauchery of the holy sacrament of marriage to continue as members of their church. If I were a Catholic I would leave and search for a Church that stood on moral principles. If I could not find one I would start one.

Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

I'm sorry, but you don't deprive yourself of the sacraments just because the current earthly leadership of the Church have all-to-human failings.

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. -Matthew 16: 18-19
