Teddy's Dead And Going To His Grave

You read the media organs of the Catholic Church and the political Right, you learn that Teddy never represented the true interests of the Church in his 40+ years as a United States Senator. High Churchmen stated he should be denied the sacraments, that he was not morally worthy to carry the banner of committed Catholics in the secular World. Is that true? Catholics voted for him in overwhelming numbers regularly, in every election he was on the ballot. He never had a serious opponent, Republican or Democrat. Polls show that his constituency supported his political stands between elections. They supported his position on abortion. They want safe, cheap, reliable birth control available to all who need it, for whatever reason. They applauded his support of public education and health care for all. They stood by him when he battled against the use of American military might to victimize countries that had done us no harm, repeatedly, over the last forty five years.

What Catholic was ever asked if they supported elevation to the priesthood, men that sodomized their own little children? Who elected that little Fester lookin', catamite weasel, Ratzo, to run the Church? Who's the real Catholic? When did Catholics get to vote on the Church's political machination's. Who best represents the interests of everyday parishioners? You know how you can tell, in the Irish Catholic community of Massachusetts? Who has the biggest funeral.
