It has been so rewarding to have lived during the lifetimes of the Kennedy brothers, dedicated public servants all; to have observed their clearly demonstrated respect for their wives, their children and their marriage vows; their shunning of the perquisites of great inherited material wealth; the manner in which their lives were influenced by the teachings of the religion they professed and the oversight of its prelates.
Recalling all this just renders me almost breathless. I can’t go on!! Shall I abandon my Lutheran mind set and return to the Mother Church? /mild sarc/

ROTFL! Believe it or not, there were a few Catholics on FR who tried to convince us (at the time of his funeral) that Kennedy must have had a deathbed conversion. Presumably they couldn't live with the cognitive dissonance that their bishops had given this paragon of Catholic virtues a hero's send-off.
