Raymond Arroyo on the Kennedy Funeral: ?About cementing the impression that . . . a Catholic politican . . . may licitly ignore the cause of life?

By ADF Alliance Alert

LifeSiteNews: "EWTN News Director and host of the popular EWTN program 'The World Over,' Raymond Arroyo, has written a compelling commentary on retired Washington Cardinal Theodore McCarrick's part in Saturday's burial of Senator Ted Kennedy. Arroyo begins by calling McCarrick's reading of portions of Kennedy's letter and a Vatican response a 'marvelous bit of political theatre (as so much of Senator Kennedy's funeral was).'" Arroyo writing at EWTN: Ted Kennedy: The Catholic Legacy and the Letters "What most in the media and the public fail to recognize is that this entire spectacle?the Catholic funeral trappings and the wall to wall coverage-- was only partially about Ted Kennedy. It was truly about cementing the impression, indeed catechizing the faithful, that one can be a Catholic politician, and so long as you claim to care about the poor, you may licitly ignore the cause of life."
