>>How naive are you?<<

I am not naive. I am a sinner. The Lord says ANY sinner can be forgiven.

Are you Catholic? Have you NEVER heard of deathbed confessions?

I’m not saying that Teddy did this. I’m sure not saying he had a fasttrack to Heaven, but YOU presume the Mind of The Lord saying that he is condemned.

You can go ahead and presume. I’m not and I will pray for his immortal soul.

Grew up RCC, took part in many Confessions. Priest were Spiritual in nature and part of my repentance were more verbs and not just a bunch of Hail Marys, Our Fathers, and Acts of Contrition. I actually had to publicly denounce, work off, and make restitution towards other people I have wronged. Kennedy knew the sands of time were running out, yet used his time to craft more corruption. "Priest will do the forgiving, my corruption is too much fun to repent from now" at least that is what his actions implied.

Kennedy knew the rules from his childhood. During adulthood, shunned those rules but still used the Church for personal/annulment/"vote for me, I am a strong Catholic" gain.

Did I condemn the man? This is about the reaction from the RCC. If the Church must give him this public display of Spiritual righteousness, as a political LEADER who rejected core teachings of the Church, his confession should have been more forthcoming to amend his sins that effects a broad range of individuals, number 1.

Number 2, How we are to judge actions from another professed Christian/ RCC apparently not doing it's job?

Number 3, How Clergy are ordered to hold leaders more accountable?

Number, 4 How God judges leaders/Professed “Christians” more harshly?

Number 5 by default we are all sinners, duh, do we go through life sinning and BELIEVING but is it wrong thinking, “When I am dying I will just regurgitate my actions knowing Jesus will forgive me. Heck, I can have no regrets and still get in, right?”

Kennedy's soul is where Christ deems worthy to be. As those still in our temporal bodies, we must make sure Godly institutions that praise men do it righteously.
