The Kennedys fought with the likes of Franklin Roosevelt, Jimmy Hoffa, and Robert Bork over the duration of thirteen presidential administrations. Now that no Kennedy holds political office in Washington, they're fighting each other.
The family feud involves two iconic landmarks: the Kennedy Cape Cod compound and the John F. Kennedy Library overlooking Dorchester Bay.
In Hyannis Port, Ted Kennedy's heirs prepare to transform the waterfront mansion the family has owned for 85 years into a retreat for thinkers and politicians contemplating public policy. The compound where early movie-mogul Joe Kennedy screened films for starlet Gloria Swanson, where the brood played touch-football games, and where Ted secluded himself after Chappaquiddick will morph from a familiar family gathering spot to a meeting place for strangers. The neighbors -- i.e., others Kennedys who have purchased homes adjacent to the main house -- are perturbed.
So, one might deduce, is the longtime owner. "Rose wanted to turn the place over to the Benedictine monks before she died," Benedict Fitzgerald , the family matriarch's personal attorney, told author Joe Klein for his book Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died. "I drew up the legal papers for her on my front porch. But when Ted found out about it, he ripped the thing in half. There was no way he was going to have the place turned into a monastery."
Wresting control of the property from mother Rose, Ted Kennedy instructed his heirs to deed it to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. Instead of a house of God, the property will become a Temple of Ted.

I’m not sure.
I think she is in the back row, second from right.
Considering the evil people who occupied the house, and what things happened there, a thorough cleansing or demolition of the property would be a good idea. Couldn’t hurt. I guess the Benedictines are a Catholic group, and I can’t see them, or any religious group, thriving in that desecrated place.
Sounds like the demons in Teddy protected the demons in the Kennedy compound from a benedictine exorcism...
Ted has not had a drink for 25 Months Today. Maybe for his 2nd year sober the Benedictines will get there retreat setting in Hyannis.
