... He was never small,” Biden said.
...finally Joe got one right!
Where’s the part about him molesting young college interns?
I MISSED THE PRO-ABORTION PART.
God knows.
I do not.
I make no comment and pass no judgment on his final destination. That's above my paygrade.
His legislative and political legacy is another matter entirely; it is completely within my competence to judge.
His legacy is one of pure, unmitigated evil.
We have no idea if Senator Kennedy had a deathbed re-conversion. We cannot judge.
Beginning Catholic: The Anointing of the Sick: Comfort and Healing [Ecumenical]
This from Little Joe.
Yes, and he left millions of holes in the ground for all the Vietnamese who died in the North’s atrocities and re-education camps.
The blood of millions is on his hands.
Hopefully, he made a good confession. The priest can’t talk about that, but even the gravest sinner can have a good death if he truly repents and confesses his sins.
Kennedy’s public life was filled with evils. Putting aside Chappaquiddick, for which he never really apologized or paid any price, he was, to all appearances, a drunken, womanizing, philandering lout who was responsible for the deaths of millions of unborn children among his other sins as a public legislator and influential politiian.
We can still hope he died in peace after confessing his sins. But it would appear that, if he did, he left it to the very last day, a very dangerous thing to do. If a Catholic lives like that, setting a bad example, avoiding or abusing the Sacraments—among them apparently the sacraments of marriage, confession, and communion—then it may be very hard for him to reach inside at the last and make a real act of contrition and genuine repentance.
There was a Protestant professor at Harvard toward the end of the 19th century who said that his job obliged him to take his conscience and put it into a drawer and shut it away for as long as he taught there. Then, he said, when he opened the drawer years later, at his retirement, he found that the drawer was empty. So, don’t presume that you can do evil all your life and then quickly be forgiven at the end. It’s never too late, but it’s not wise to presume upon easy forgiveness after a lifetime of deliberate evil.

Bears Repeating!
“It was a total surprise to me to see another world he was involved in — the spiritual world,”
If he believed all the stuff they taugh him about being forgiven for sin after sin he has now found out it an't so to keep doing the same thing time and again..When Ted got the annulment from his first wife Joan did that make his children bastard children..I wish Joan would sober up and write a book about this old drunk husband of hers...
Well, I’m not Catholic, so I can get away with passing judgment on that fat creep.
The faithful?
Cordially,
“It was a total surprise to me to see another world he was involved in — the spiritual world,” said Rev. Patrick Tarrant of Our Lady of Victory Church. “However, we were a bit mistified when he kept saying things like “ouch - that hurts!! “ Hey - you can’t stick that up there!” and “Can somebody turn on the air conditioning - it’s hotter than hades in here..”
You can thank his brother, John. In 1960, Kennedy was the Democratic nominee for president and abortion was illegal and not a campaign issue. Kennedy said he favored strict separation of church and state "where no public official either requests or accepts instructions from the pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesial source."
"Whatever issue may come before me as president -- on birth control, divorce, censorship, gambling or any other subject -- I will make my decision in accordance with these views, in accordance with what my conscience tells me to be the national interest," Kennedy said. "No power or threat of punishment could cause me to decide otherwise," Kennedy said to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association, a predominantly Protestant group.
Agreed.
Too bad it was from the perspective of a powerful and wealthy elitist looking down on the masses he has dominion over.
The leaders under socialism NEVER live under the conditions they impose on the pawns they assert their superior enlightenment over.
God; Ted: wherst is thy sister Mary Jo Kopechne?
Ted: I am not thy sisters keeper, Lord...
Which Obama twists to claim says: "we are our brothers and sisters keepers" And therefore we must have crappy commie style health care, which he will now add "in memory of Ted, who worked his whole life trying to achieve."
Between bottles.
“The truth is, he had expressed to is family that he did want to go. He did want to go to heaven”
Well teddy boy you were able to buy your way through life but you don’t have the currency needed to get into Heaven.
