Edward Kennedy, RIP

The passing of Senator Ted Kennedy Tuesday evening at age 77 after a year long struggle with a brain tumor marks the passing of a life intertwined with decades of history. Mark Stricherz provides a balanced assessment of Ted Kennedy's political activities and personal life.

While he pushed for policies he felt advanced the cause of the poor and vulnerable, Ted Kennedy's attachment to pro-abortion policies that disregarded the lives of the unborn betrayed those ideals and cost him the moral credibility to be persuasive to many on those other issues.

May God have mercy on his soul and provide comfort to his family who have suffered so much tragedy.
