Pelican State ping
Retired New Orleans Archbishop Philip Hannan has been a pal of the Kennedys for decades. He was interviewed for a local TV newscast the day old Ted died and was quite positive about the man. In fact, he never mentioned the late Senator’s views that were at odds with Church teaching, abortion included.
Apparently the Kennedy family asked that his funeral mass be held in the cathedral, they were refused.
The Cardinal of Boston will be in attendance but will not be the celebrant.
Seems Obama is giving the "eulogy" which the priest on EWTN can not figure out since eulogies are not permitted during funeral masses.
If you get the chace watch the reruns of World Over, they did not mince words on the legecy of Ted Kennedy. They also focused on the heath care bill.
