LOL!
Interesting comment at this site:
In his encyclical “Penance and Reconciliation,” Pope John Paul II listed a great many ways in which people participate in “social sin” through their own personal sins. One of those was “the conspiracy of silence.”
Cardinal Mahony’s obscene praise for the mass-murderer and demagogue Edward Kennedy is a perfect example of “the conspiracy of silence.”
Who is more powerless and innocent than the child in the womb? FIFTY MILLION murders of babies in the womb were, for Edward Kennedy, NOT ENOUGH. A hundred million MORE murders would not have been enough to satisfy the demonic pride and lust for power of Edward Kennedy. He literally defended the “right” to murder babies to his dying day.
One of history’s greatest monsters has assumed room temperature. Today is a day for unbridled thanksgiving and rejoicing, especially for Catholics. We should also seriously examine our consciences, asking: How morally sick is the Catholic Church in America that we have tolerated several generations of bishops, and several generations of Catholic voters, who did not recognize the Kennedys—Edward Kennedy above all—as a scourge upon the Catholic Church and the United States?
Cardinal Mahony embodies the moral and intellectual putrefaction that has made the bishops, as a body, more akin to a festering, pus-spewing abscess in the Church than the secure foundation it should be.

The voices of the innocent aborted are crying for vengeance. Shame on Mahoney and Kennedy.
Well, we shall soon see. Will there be a very quiet mass in a small chapel for the comfort of the family and Sen. Kennedy's soul, or will there be an extravaganza with armies of red cloaked bishops and cardinals in attendance.
We shall soon see of what stuff the Catholic Church is made.
