Here we see the demarcation line drawn between American Catholics.
Sister Maureen Fiedler, Sister of Loretto, Ph.D is an American activist and radio host. She is a progressive, sometimes controversial activist within the Roman Catholic Church. She has a long history working with interfaith coalitions on a variety of issues including: social justice, peace, anti-racism work, gender equality, human rights and female ordination to the Catholic Church. She holds a Ph.D in Government from Georgetown University.
Ted Kennedy was a poor example of a Catholic.
Kennedy was:
A an irredeemable alcoholic - supported by incontrovertable facts.
A traitor - supported by recently released records of his communications with KGB operatives in his efforts to undermine Reagan.
A murderer - How many millions of the unborn? How many? And then there’s Mary Jo.
A socialist - by his own words: “The reason why socialsim hasn’t worked in the last 6000 years is because I wasn’t in charge of it.”
And finalyy, on the basis of the preceding items - a malignant narcissist.
Nice legacy, Ted.
It is very nice to have you, Patrick. Welcome.
Interesting the comments to the America article are mostly against Winters. Perhaps they were swamped by Freepers?
Go get ‘em Pat.
As the Democrat Party morphed into the party of death and progressive socialism, any Christian would have jumped ship. Not this slimeball family.
This woman doesn't seem to be much of a Catholic either.
Well done.
opposed the war in Iraq. Because his life (and the lives of others in his family) embraced the great Catholic social justice tradition,
I guess condoning the killing of 60 million little souls doesn’t enter into that “social” thingy. Maureen - you can HAVE that torch and on judgment day I don’t want to be within 10 feet of your sorry @ass!
bttt
Sign me up as a “Boor Who Demeans Ted Kennedy.”
St. Edward of Boston, pray for us. Don’t make me sick. This guy was perverse in his sense of social justice. Aborted babies don’t vote, so they’re expendable. If he is having a Catholic funeral, the cardinal/archbishop of Boston ought to vacate his See immediately. What a mockery of our faith
Bravo Zulu, Patrick.
Boorishness? I did not note any boorishness on the part of Mr. Madrid. He states facts about Kennedy’s zealousness in promoting abortion of the truly weak and defenseless. How in heaven’s name Sr. Maureen could say that Kennedy makes her proud to be a Catholic is beyond me unless ideology in her eyes trumps the Catholic Faith. Kennedy excelled in ignoring that Faith. Besides his pro-abortion stance and his spearheading statism which I don’t think goes with the Catholic principle of subsidiarity, his personal example will forever by tarnished by Chappaquidick and other behavior which need not be mentioned here.Kennedy remains a “Lion” for those who are liberals, because of his fierce partisanship in that cause. That certainly does not qualify him for making Catholics proud given liberalism’s current agenda.
May God have mercy on his soul...but for America and American catholics it would have been better if he died 70 years ago.
