The Death of Ted Kennedy and Cardinal McCarrick

I swore that I would not write about the Kennedy funeral but there has been something bothering me since it took place that no one has really commented on. That is: Why the heck did Cardinal McCarrick make public the letters of Senator Ted Kennedy to the general public?

To me there is really only one reason and one reason alone: To mute the criticism that had begun (and still exists to this day) that Kennedy should not have been given a very public Catholic funeral Mass.

What other reason is there?

If you can think of any others, let me know.

Update 2: Congressman Joe Wilson may have breeched protocol, but he was on the mark: Obama is a LIAR!

Sen. Kennedy Recieves Communion at Papal Mass

According to the Washington Times:

In fact, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, a liberal Massachusetts Democrat, got a personalized delivery of Communion, said Dan Skehan, a businessman from Lancaster, Pa., who sat in Section 216 directly above the senator.

Minutes before the rest of the enormous crowd lined up to receive the sacrament, Mr. Skehan and his two sons spotted a priest making his way down the steps to the senator to hand him the consecrated host.

"It was obviously prearranged," Mr. Skehan said, "maybe out of regard for his girth and lack of mobility. I turned immediately to both my sons and said, 'Oh my gosh, look at that.' Everyone in my section, which was filled with people from Lancaster, said, 'That is outrageous. How could they do that?'"
….
At first, on April 30, archdiocese spokeswoman Susan Gibbs denied that Mr. Kennedy had partaken, saying such a scenario "wouldn't be possible."

Then on May 1, Mr. Kennedy's office e-mailed The Washington Times a one-sentence statement saying the senator had indeed received Communion at the Mass.
……

"They know which priest was assigned to distribute Communion in that section," he said. "Those priests couldn't wander around. They had 47,000 people receive Communion in 15 minutes. That was orchestrated. They knew who was where."

Now, we have another pro-abortion, pro-homosexual politician who has received Communion. The Archdiocese claims that this could not have happened? Give me a break.

Will there be other names coming forward? Maybe this is why the Archbishop continues to push this notion that only the local bishop can do anything.

Personally, I think that a much better title to this story would be: “I see nothing, nothing!” Sgt. Schultz - Hogan’s Heroes television series.
