[Peace-discuss] Catholics oppose public Catholic funeral for arch-heretic Kennedy.

[E. Wayne Johnson]

A Catholic pro-life leader has some scathing words concerning Senator 
Ted Kennedy's Catholic funeral.

Thomas Euteneuer, president of Human Life International 
<http://www.hli.org/>, released this statement concerning Senator 
Kennedy. "We must, as a matter of precept, pray for the salvation of 
heretical Catholics like Senator Edward Kennedy, but we do not have to 
praise him, let alone extol him with the full honors of a public 
Catholic funeral and all the adulation that attends such an event."

He adds that while Senator Kennedy called himself Catholic, like Speaker 
of the House Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Joe Biden, they are 
actually wolves in sheep's clothing.

"They do not hold to the teaching of the church. They, in fact, take 
every opportunity seemingly to contradict the teaching of our church," 
Euteneuer says. "So in the case of Senator Edward Kennedy, he was not 
only against his church's teaching on the issue of abortion, but the 
same with embryonic stem cell research, the same with gay marriage and 
various other issues which set him in diametric opposition to his 
church's very well-defined and clearly articulated teaching."

Euteneuer says he is speaking out now to remind everyone that Catholics 
cannot honor a person with a full and public Catholic funeral when, like 
Senator Kennedy, he really was not.
