Yes, let us remember Mary Jo, when did this happen. I heard of it, but do not know if I was born yet. I may have been, that story has always stuck with me, though I do not know all of it. I think I will look it up. quote:
ORIGINAL: Covaan_Meshuga quote:
ORIGINAL: SovereignIsHe Loving the enemy doesn't equate to hoping they get well to continue their evil ways... I wouldn't be openly rude to Mr. Kennedy, I would address him as Mr. and or Senator, beyond that he is due nothing in regards to rendering honor to those who are due honor given his evil actions that he hasn’t repented of and uses to keep his seat of power. His seat in the Senate is paid for in part by the blood of murdered unborn children. What honor beyond common courtesy should anyone bestow such a person? You think those on the other side of the Red Sea lamented over Pharaoh and his Captains being pummeled by the Red Sea? Perhaps you would show more verbal respect toward him than I would, calling him "Mr.," Sovereign. I pray for his soul. He is an old man who has lived long with his sin. As far as Israel rejoicing over the pharaoh, that would not be something for us to do today, and if it was done then, it was only done in the moment of battle, when they realized the complete salvation from the enemy, given by the L-rd. We are taught not to rejoice over the death of the wicked. Even today, during the Passover seder, as we tell the story of the plagues, in memory of those who died, we remove one drop of wine from every cup for each of the plagues. Kennedy was not a good Catholic, because while only a few of the protestants fought the issue of the aborted children in the early years, the R. Catholic church was really the one leading the fight. Many of the protestant pastors would actually tell us, "It's a Catholic issue." Among them was the pastor I had then, who demanded that I stop working as a volunteer for Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life. He was wrong. The other pastors were wrong. And Teddy was wrong. But he got his way, and many "good church people" have, by 2008, fallen step with Kennedy. Mary Jo Kopechne. Mary Jo Kopechne. Mary Jo Kopechne. May she be remembered also.
