President Barack Obama will deliver a eulogy at US Senator Edward M. Kennedy's funeral Mass on Saturday, a White House official has told the Globe.

Kennedy's funeral will be held at a time yet to be determined Saturday morning at The Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the Mission Hill section of Boston. Commonly known as the Mission Church, the 1,450-seat basilica on Tremont Street was built in the 1870s. Kennedy prayed there in 2003 while his daughter, Kara, was being treated for lung cancer.

One of the kids should have been chosen to speak about their dad or Uncle Ted. Barry, the arrogant bore, will make it all about him and slip his deathcare sales pitch in there, too.

"For an encore, I suppose The One could try to raise him from the dead ..."

You might be right about the encore, as long with ALL LMSM cameras rolling, his adoring fans get to see:

#1. Obamassiah do the walk on water thingee.

#2. Then he feeds the whole crowd and the msm with the now infamous "couple of loaves and 2 fish".

#3.... and then give his "Win Obamacare for Teddy The Swimmer!!" TOTUS speech.

I’m thinking of sticking my TV up in the Attic for the next couple of months.....maybe just keep it there.
You just know Carter and Byrd are on their way out soon as well.

“Pack up TOTUS and send it to the Vineyard.”

Maybe backup TOTUS will finally get his chance to shine.

I believe the funeral is on Saturday...people catch up on errands and lots of back to school shopping this upcoming weekend. I doubt the funeral will get a lot of viewers. It will be interesting to see the Nielsen ratings on Monday!

Someone in Rome ought to be proclaiming to the world that this stinks like a dead skunk.

-all I can say is that his eulogy better be after the mass, not during the homily.

It took a Kennedy to get Obama in a church......the irony.

The partial birth abortion president giving the eulogy of a Catholic pro-abortion senator a Catholic church. That's rich.

Not to flame our Catholic Freepers in any way, but can someone explain to me why he is evidently receiving a funeral mass? How can be possibly be in communion with the teachings of the church given his known political positions and votes on abortion? Would he have had to repent on his deathbed? Christ is not willing that anyone, even Ted Kennedy, should perish, but what is the position of the church on this?

The time for denying Ted Kennedy Catholic sacraments was when he was alive. Although priests do not like to make these types of calls as it becomes sensational and the Church becomes like a circus. My own brother-in-law (a priest) denied two of our sons the Host at a funeral "memorial" Mass given for my mother (she was not Catholic). He denied them because they are away from the Church and he had every right to do so. He did, however, give Communion to our younger son who he thought was attending Mass, but he wasn't, so that was a bit awkward. Now recently we had a one-year memorial Mass for my mom and he gave them all Communion. We did not talk to him about it, but if he denied them the Host this time around, it would have made a bit of a spectacle out of the Mass as there were only a handful of people there, so I'm guessing that was his reasoning for not denying. So things can get sloppy in a hurry when one makes these types of decisions/judgments. Whether Ted Kennedy has a Catholic Mass or not will not matter in regard to his soul (in my opinion) if he did not repent. How can a Mass help a heretic? However, no one needs prayers more than Ted Kennedy at this point in time and it's up to Catholics everywhere to send a few his way.
