"Martin said he was a praticising Roman Catholic who separates his privately held beliefs from his duties as a politician."

That is completely contrary to what the Pope just said. Glad he listens to the leader of his church.

The Kennedy clan are our own "practicing" Roman Catholics.

Every time some tragedy (usually self-inflicted) befalls the Kennedys, they start up with the breastbeating and the beadrattling. Then, of course, comes the public mourning at the funeral Mass. Except for John Jr. whose ashes were hastily dumped off the back of a Navy ship and promptly forgotten. The entire bunch are disgusting examples of using the Catholic religion as a shield.

In the case of the Kennedys, the good really do die young.
