As you know, since my last time I blogged on this particular blog, Senator Ted Kennedy died of a brain tumor. His funeral at the Basillica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Jamaica Plain(that's the Mission Church to you and me) was one of the touching ceremonies of all time.
Yeah, right.
Although Senator Kennedy helped millions of working families in his lifetime, he was also a staunch supporter of "the right to abortion." When he took the "pro-death" route in the 1960s and 1970s, he cancelled out everything right that he did. I'll admit that he was a champion of worker's rights, helped underprivelieged families, and helped special needs students like myself get access to special education and opportunities for advancement. However, he was very poor in his support of the legal right to abortion. In fact, he wrote the health care bill that contains "unrestricted abortion" guarantees in it.
He was a very good man, but he was morally corrupt in his stand on the right to life. As I listened to the funeral on the radio on Saturday August 29th., I had mixed emotions. I'll admit that I didn't speak up more to him on his pro-choice stance. And that's a tough thing to swallow. Also, when his kids "hijacked" the general intercessions about a time when there would be no discrimination for "black and white, gay and straight," my hair stood up.
In the 1960s, Fr. Robert Drinan told the Kennedys that it was all right for them to support abortion in their political careers. Since abortion was legalized in 1973, 50 million Americans(and countless millions more around the world) have been sacrificed to the abortion gods. I feel that a Catholic priest who was supposed to defend the church's teaching made a deal with the devil(and took the Kennedy clan with him).
I don't understand why Cardinal Sean won't speak up against the sin of abortion or why he didn't force Teddy to come to his senses. When I heard him give the commendation, I felt that he was a hypocrite attending that service. Since I stopped voting for "pro-death" Democrats(more or less; I still face a quandry in the mid-term ones), I've been sending a clear message: I don't want my represenatives or Senators to compromise their personal beliefs for the sake of political expediency.
I also feel that abortion is another form of depopulation of the world. Think about achievements in science, technology, the arts and other fields that have never come to pass or will never come to be. And it's all because a bunch of old men in the Supreme Court legalized going against the sixth commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Kill." And that commandment applies to those in the womb as well as those on the streets and in the hospitals.
While I rejoice in Senator Kennedy's many efforts to help this country, they are made null and void by his support of abortion. I don't believe that history will look kindly upon him. Yes, he made a lot of mistakes, but we all do...
At his burial service at Arlington National Cemetery, Cardinal MacCormick of Washington, D.C. read a letter from him to Pope Benedict asking for his prayers. He didn't bother to repent of his pro-death beliefs. I hope he did in his dying confession, because if he didn't, he's toast.
I have come to believe that abortion is another form of Molech worship(dating back to the times when pagans would sacrifice their children to that demon god). It's time to stop this murderous worship now. I propose that we have a new amendment-one that will protect the unborn. If you have any opinion, please post it in the comments board provided below.
Thank you and God bless.
