RIP Mary Kennedy. I am curious as to why the Catholic Church was willing to give her a church funeral, given that she was a suicide. Could some Catholic Freepers enlighten me?

Imagine the evil she witnessed over the years.

May God have mercy.

One American Family I can’t stand is the Kennedy family.What a bunch of pompous asses who want to regulate how we live but yet their own miserable lives suck.

It’s really No wonder why they have experienced such tragedy in their lives through the years.

Or was it provided by a Protestant/evangelical minister but in that same building?

I do not know if reasons for the suicide are considered by the clergy, whether that sin could be forgivable. Despairing of having to put up with the Kennedys might almost be considered venal without additional factors (OK, I’m being very sardonic about it and I’m one of those lousy Protestants too).

“Despairing of having to put up with the Kennedys...”

I think I would just change my name and relocate under an assumed identity;)

Well considering the mutant pond scum she was married to I would consider it more of a murder by extreme mental torture.

I guess one could split without having to split for eternity. Oh the juicy scandal... a Kennedy absconded for parts unknown!

I'm no expert on Catholic doctrine but I believe that the Church accepts the existence of mental illness.Both depression and schizophrenia are clearly documented to involve abnormal chemistry of the brain and,as a result,I'd be *very* surprised if she was denied a Catholic burial.

I was thinking the same thing. But then, they let that slug Jabba the Senator receive communion after a divorce and a midnight swim.

I pity *any* woman who would voluntarily associate herself with the Kennedys.

Suicide is the most selfish acts one can do

She continues the kennedy curse...of their own making

There’s a parallel in orthodox Jewish theology for those who are considered to have been “as distressed as Saul” (of the Old Testament, who fell on his sword rather than accept humiliation). Where the act is considered as though it were not willed by a reasoning person, although personal choices may have played a part in getting the person into the situation in which the act occurred.

The Catholic church will overlook anything if you have the financial means or celebrity.

I’ve never understood why the Kennedy family is considered by some to be American royalty. What did they ever do to deserve such accolades? Who decided that they should be celebrities/quasi-royalty?

Think of history would have been different if he had been driving a VW instead of an Olds.

Quite possible. Carelessly used drugs (alcohol being one), which she had hoped to provide an escape from the despair and distress, instead trapped her more tightly in it.

I can’t fathom the web of lies and delusion one would have to accept to get along in the Kennedy family. It would have (so to speak) driven Sigmund Freud insane.

It is now considered mental illness, I believe.
