Will Ted Kennedy go to Hell because of his position on abortion, AND because he completely failed to LIVE his religion?
The headline above is a direct quote of a present headline from that leftist propaganda organ, Yahoo News (boycott Yahoo!)--quoting Time Magazine "buzz". We already know that Time Magazine is nothing more than a conduit for leftist propaganda, as the leftist canonization of Ted Kennedy continues. Yahoo News regards this false propaganda as one of the 7 top "news" stories to put on the present Yahoo Welcome screen. So much for Yahoo News and Yahoo.
Be honest here. What is the more hones headline: the Time Magazine/Yahoo headline or my first par paragraph of this blog entry above? There is no contest. Eunice Kennedy Shriver appears to have actually lived her religion. Ted Kennedy is a hypocrite who merely used his religion for political purposes.
Yes, Ted Kennedy was one of the most fanatic pro-abortion "leaders" in the Senate. Of course he was "quiet" about his religion. How could he be "public" about a religion that he CONTRADICTED with almost his entire life. It is the official position of the Catholic Church that abortion is a MORTAL sin, and that politicians who fail to oppose abortion cannot really consider themselves Catholic. It is the official position of the Catholic Church that abortion is murder, which means that Ted Kennedy was not only directly involved in the killing of Mary Jo Kopechne, but was implicated in millions of other killings.
Did you ever here Ted Kennedy make a speech about his opposition to abortion? Yes, I know the HYPOCRITICAL "position" as well as you do: "I am personally opposed to abortion, and my religion opposes it, but I refuse to impose my personal belief, or that of my religion, upon the country.". In other words, Ted Kennedy refuses to impose his "personal belief" about MURDER on anyone else--a position that would support female infanticide (still prevalent in parts of the world) and the legalized murder of Native American "savages", or even slaves, on the grounds that they do not have a "soul" like white people.
Did you ever hear WHY Ted Kennedy's supposed Catholic religion, in the view of Ted Kennedy, regards abortion as a mortal sin (for which, apparently, you go to Hell)? Of course not. You did not hear Ted Kennedy out there urging women NOT to have abortion is. His true religion, like that of Nancy Pelosi (who this blog has exposed not to believe in religion at all) was LEFTISM.
No, abortion is not the only indication that Ted Kennedy did not believe in his religion. Catholic position on MARRIAGE? Does Ted Kennedy's life indicate he believed in it? Not outside of leftist fantasies of what religion is when your real religion is leftism. I think Kennedy is divorced from the first wife--mother of his children--who he virtually destroyed with his infidelities and lifestyle. Did he get an "annulment" in the Church? I don't care. Look it all up on Wikipedia. Time did not bother. The idea that Kennedy had "quiet Catholic faith" is absurd.
It is well known that Ted Kennedy was a womanizer and a drinker. His personal appetites were unrestrained, and he is hardly an advertisement for the Catholic religion he did NOT live. He was more of a hypocrite than Jimmy Swaggert, the TV evangelist who at least APOLOGIZED for failing to be strong enough to live his religion.
Let me state flatly: Time Magazine (hypocrites all) does not believe in religion any more than I do, or Nancy Pelosi does. That is the biggest hypocrisy of all: that Time Magazine cares whether Ted Kennedy had "faith". Time Magazine only cares about its agenda--its own leftist religion--and would be horrified at a politician who actually LIVED the Catholic religion (and said so publicly).
As I have said repeatedly in this blog, I am agnostic. Unlike Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi--not to mention Time Magazine and Yahoo News--I am not a HYPOCRITE about it. In reality, their position on religion is approximately the same as mine, except that I have more respect for people who actually live and believe their own religion. However, I was raised Presbyterian.
Why do I mention that I was raised Presbyterian? It is because I was taught to distrust the Catholic Religion. What was the reason for the Reformation? I recently finished reading (listening to) Will Durant's two volume book on "The Renaissance". The Catholic religion had become corrupt, as popes, bishops and clergy failed to live their religion (often openly having mistresses). That hypocrisy basically created PProtestants, even though most of the "mainline" PProtestant churches no longer much encourage people to "live" their religion (which is why I respect "fundamentalist" Christians more, even though I can hardly be personally comfortable with a REAL belief I do not share).
I have previously commented on the criticism of the Catholic religion in Sir Walter Scott's "Kenilworth". Ted Kennedy is basically the poster child for that religion. Sir Walter Scoot describes the Catholic religion as perfect for a sinner like Ted Kennedy (the character having another name in Scott's book--being one of the villains). You can commit all of the sins you want, and live a corrupt life, and then you go to Confession and get "forgiven". That is the Protestant view of the Catholic religion with which I was raised. The purpose here is not to say that the Protestant churches are preferable to the Catholic Church, but only to say ththat the life of Ted Kennedy provides a lot of support to Sir Walter Scott and the Protestant Reformation view of Catholicism.
