He is more believable than the Redemptorist who welcomed people to the Mass. And Ted Kennedy Jr. was more Catholic than the homilist - at least Ted Jr. spoke about the need for Redemption.
I wasn't going to watch at all. Then When I thought it was "safe" I switched on the set, and they were at Arlington, 3 hours after schedule sticking Ted into the ground just at dark. [I remember how long it took for Bobby K. -- that and the person who got killed standing on the track to "see"] I flipped to another channel, and C-SPAN had a rebroadcast of the funeral...and the homilist was pathetic. To listen to them talk butter didn't melt in Teddy's mouth.
I agree Ted Jr. did a good job overall. The best part was when he was talking about his dad helping him with a physical challenge after he'd had has leg removed (Ted Jr.)
But then I should have switched off and didn't. The soloists were good, but as typical Caroline and the whole proabort crowd of them trotted up for Communion. I did turn off when zero was on.
Well, I came to it mid=stream so I was giving him a break just incase he started with "Despite what a drunken murdering fool Ted Kennedy was for the most of his life he...."
Anonymous posters are fine, but please give yourself a nickname so I know anon I from anon II. "Jack/Jill of the Amazing Wolverine Tribe" is preferable to "anonymous."

ReplyDeleteThat homelist EXACTLY is exhibit A of why the liberal industrial North East is LOST as far as the faith is concerned.
You are very charitable, if that is the right word!, about that homilest. I was much more truthful about him in my blog!
