Another Kennedy in the Senate?

Kennedy, like millions of Americans, fawning over The One.

Caroline Kennedy is making a run for Hillary Clinton's vacated NY senate seat. The daughter of JFK and Jackie-O, Kennedy seems like a genuinely nice person who has, for most of her life, bucked family tradition by assiduously avoiding the limelight in favor of a quiet family life. But does America (let alone the Catholic Church) need another self-described "Catholic" bearing the name "Kennedy" meddling in political office, advocating every moral abomination under the sun; i.e., abortion, human embryonic stem-cell "research," cloning, etc.? It's a rhetorical question. No doubt Kennedy will get the seat. Expect her to hold on to it for the next 30 years. A Kennedy running in New York is not likely to lose, ever. One can only hope the US bishops will wise up and be more pastoral in dealing with her voting indiscretions than they have been with her bloviating uncle Ted.
