1. Too bad. He's getting one.

And a letter from the Pope, too.

[gateley]

7. They're probably all Opus Dei members. nt

[Drunken Irishman]

8. That or just Kennedy haters.

Lots of Kennedy haters out there.

They can't stand it that the most popular family in American history were some of the most liberal.

[timeforpeace]

32. Never seen an internet poll with so few voters. Nobody cares probably.

20. Why are you dignifying this BS poll by taking it seriously?

Online polls have no statistical validity whatsoever. The results only reflect who the regular readers are, or which blog/website directs their readers there first. This kind of nonsense is a distraction that sucks your energy away from doing something useful.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. Because.

:P

[gateley]

4. Done. Almost even now. I'm humbled, though, that we have so many

holy, sinless people out there who KNOW what God wants. :eyes:

[Sebastian Doyle]

6. Oh for fucks sake

The man was a life long practicing Catholic from the most famous Catholic family on earth. What was he supposed to have? A Hare Krishna funeral?? :eyes:

[virgogal]

17. He attended the Catholic church but was not a practicing Catholic.

Big difference.

I left the church many years ago because I didn't like the rules,Ted stayed.

[Drunken Irishman]

19. What do you mean he wasn't a practicing Catholic?

[Iris]

Of course he deserves a proper Roman Catholic burial.

14. why in the hell would ANY media outlet ask such a fucking pointless poll? shame on reuters

[FrenchieCat]

15. Well, the Pope thinks so. I'm not sure why anyone else would have a say so on this,

[Kerrytravelers]

If we were to suggest that a republican who is pro-death penalty shouldn't get a Catholic funeral... what righteous indignation we'd have to witness... oh, the outrage. :eyes: Please. The rw nutters need an outrage the way fish need water. They inhabit their anger. It is pitiful.

22. Did it ...

I think a lot of people are taking the poll. It took me three attempts to get a connection. After my vote the people in favor of letting him be buried in his own faith was 50%.

Hope enough more go over and vote to raise that. No one has any business defining the nature, depth, or sincerity of another person's faith. I find it amazing that anyone would even run a poll like this. "Faithworld" must be a Fundie paradise.

[fascisthunter]
