Kennedy's poignant letter to Pope

poignant or pointless? Jesus said "repent and believe the Gospel", "unless you repent you will likewise perish", and "you must be born again." Christian repentance means more than just a feeling of shame or sorrow over sin. I pray for his family. God help us all to repent and believe.

His fate rests with God, not the Popes and not ours.Unfortunately his bad decisions stand out in in our minds and we forgot the good that he did accomplish.

Notice that the Vatican NEVER made a public statement of mourning on Ted Kennedy's death. But when his sister Eunice died earlier, Pope Benedict sent out a statement on her life giving glory to Christ.

While he was alive he gleefully and willfully broke every law in God's Book, everything from abortion to homosexual marriage. I hope the undertaker had the good sense to bury Ted Kennedy in an asbestos suit.

today is veteran's day, november 11, to all veterans i wish you the best and a heartfelt thanks for the service you have given, texasannie

hi there! concerning this portion of ted's letter, it is not up to me to be his final judge and jury, however, i do have an opinion.....seems he admits he was a member of a family who had a very active faith..and he CHOSE to mock that faith with his decions in government and even his personal lifestyle.....and now that it is evident he will be "meeting his maker" he would like a kind word from the pope on his behalf.... Catholics should not push for abortion in any shape or form...and since i am a staunch conservative in my political belief and ted was a liberal, i also think just doing things for the advantage of any minority regardless if it hurts another group of people or not is not always the best thing to do....he had what i call rich boy guilt, it would have been better if he gave away some of his wealth instead of "ours".
