We have become a society made up largely of intolerant, irresponsible hedonists - calling themselves "progressives". For them abortion is just another "choice" - Chocolate or vanilla?

Unfortunately, our nation will never ween itself from the seductive convenience of abortion. However, the Catholic Church should have never compromised with its evil - Not even for the sake of charity and mercy for the Kennedy family. Ted Kennedy deserved no eulogy - only a prayer for his soul and the mercy of God.

Only an uninformed person (or one set on deception) could believe that the country can stop abortion by changing the law, or by giving the deceased the finger.

The illiterates who commented here earlier in condemnation of the late Senator Kennedy, and Cardinal O'Malley, reveal gross political partisanship.

I tried to post this on O'Malley's blog but they won't accept it.

"Your presence there was inappropriate and self-serving.

You sent a wrong message."

participation in a funeral.

As for the quote above, the second sentence was good. The first sentence was not.
