The media is wondering why Pope Benedict XVI hasn't issued any public comments on the death of Senator Ted Kennedy.
The reason is threefold: abortion, stem cell research, and gay marriage, which Kennedy strongly supported, but is vehemently opposed by the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Kennedy's outright defiance of church doctrine is well-known in Rome. So don't expect to see the Pope go out of his way to praise the Senator for his politics in public.
Being a liberal Catholic is a contradiction: one can be a liberal, or be a Catholic, but not both. You either are, or you aren't a Catholic. And the attempt by American politicians to bridge the gap and have it both ways is utterly ridiculous.
To see Senator Kennedy's voting record, go to ontheissues.org then select Massachusetts, then select Senator Kennedy on the Senate side.
