track2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Kerry was going to visit the Catholic National Cathedral outside Washington as part of his campaign. Kerry's campaign manager made a visit to the Cardinal and said to him, "We've been getting a lot of bad publicity among Catholics because of Kerry's position on abortion and the like. We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if during your sermon you'd say John Kerry is a saint." The Cardinal thinks it over for a moment and agrees to do it. Kerry shows up, and as the Mass progresses the Cardinal begins his homily. "John Kerry is petty, a self absorbed hypocrite and a nit-wit. He is a liar, a cheat, and a thief. He is the worst example of a Catholic I've ever personally known. But compared to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry is a saint." ----------------- I don't know if it actually happened, but it's darn funny anyway!
BurkeFan Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 That's hilarious... but I'm pretty sure it's not true.
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 I always heard this as a guy gives a priest $100 at his brother's funeral to say the same thing.
Iacobus Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Isn't Ted Kennedy Catholic? So than wouldn't the worst Catholic he knew to Ted?
WCC_Catholic Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 funny but true compared to Kennedey he is a saint maybe not a heavenly saint but a saint non the less

[/quote] I've heard some call Ted Kennedy an ex-Catholic because of his public adultery of his second "marriage".

MorphRC Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Personal Attack. There was a thread by dave on this kind of behaviour. However it was a funny story.
ilovechrist Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 i can actually picture that.... but i doubt the Cardinal would do that to somebody.. even if that somebody was John Kerry
