Via Creative Minority Report, Rep. Patrick Kennedy said about the election last night.
“It’s like in Roman times, they’d be trotted out to the coliseum and the lions would be brought out,” Kennedy said Tuesday night. “I mean, they’re wanting blood and they’re not getting it so they want to protest.”
Don’t worry Mr. Kennedy, it was faithful Catholics who were fed to the Lions. Ones actually obedient to their bishops (what a concept!). The Pagans who had no problems with worshipping Caesar and those who would leave infants outside to die of exposure were not fed to the Lions. Your Pagan sensibilities will prevent such a fate.
His statement is quite a contrast to me after just reading all the letters of St. Ignatius of Antioch who really was eaten by lions. Yet on his way to his martyrdom did not whine about it but saw his bones as wheat for the lions and his sanctification and way to Jesus.
Besides it is Kennedy’s side that want blood and will protest until taxpayers pay personally for the blood of the unborn.

Very well said! (To you…not toward Patrick Kennedy…what a bozo!)
You won’t get into heaven if you vote for a Kennedy.
Watching the Mass. returns it occurred to me that it’s quite possible that one element was that even Bostonians are getting sick of the aura of children at play exibited by the current crop of privileged Kennedys. Leading to a weakening sense of loyalty to defense of the “Kennedy seat.”
Was this during Decius’s reign that the persecution of Christians became widespread?
Leading the Church to the issue of how to deal with the Lapsi?
“they’re wanting blood and they’re not getting it so they want to protest.”
I can’t believe he actually said that! I wonder if he’s taken a dare to utter x number of absurdities before we manage to replace him (This time, please!) with a just, reasonable adult. A REAL Catholic would be great, but I’d settle for any honest, sane representative. Obviously such a person would support, defend, and promote the fundamental right to life.
