“but I think there’s another part of his life that very few people know, and that’s his deep faith. His very deep faith in God and his love for his family,” Tarrant said.”
His faith must have been deep............subterranean
Funny how Ted finally realized what the public thought of him.
I agree with Ted this time.
I hope he's taking his Nomex suit since it's going to be really hot where he's going.
What took him so long? Wasn’t he an advocate of assisted suicide?
So he and I were in agreement. I wanted him to go too. (at least out of the Senate)
Correction: the world, minus one.
All this fluff about his religion and deep faith reads like a satire. I could be wrong, but he seemed to be his own god in many ways. How else could you consistently vote against bans on partial-birth abortion, among many other things?
Ted Kennedy was a blessed man. Many, many people don’t know when their hour of reckoning is approaching. He knew. He was given that chance at repentence and forgiveness. Did he take it? Who knows.
“He did want to go to heaven.”
Fat chance!
Too bad Mary Jo didn’t get the same opportunities...
>> Sen. Edward M. Kennedy died in peace with his whole family praying around him
One at each corner of the pentagram?
He was able to get a year more to be with family and friends after his diagnosis before he made that decision. That's a year more than someone of his age and health history but with a different last name would be allowed to have under Obamacare.
Were they praying to a picture of Obama?
... 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.
This from Little Joe.
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.
