Lest we forget

As the eulogies and farewells for the late Senator Edward Kennedy (a 'kind and gentle hero') swell to a tsunami-like proportion it is worth reflecting on the deaths of those that go unreported and unmourned by politicians, reporters, or the general public. Father Tom Euteneuer, writing for the Catholic Exchange says

Senator Kennedy needs to be sent to the afterlife with a private, family-only funeral and the prayers of the Church for the salvation of his immortal soul. He will not be missed by the unborn who he betrayed time and time again, nor by the rest of us who are laboring to undo the scandalous example of Catholicism that he gave to three generations of Americans.

Amongst the many scandals was the manner in which Kennedy treated the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.
