Ted Kennedy, A Remembrance One Year After His DeathPatrick Whelan, NCR
A year ago today, people in Massachusetts and around the world mourned the death of Senator Ted Kennedy in a manner reserved for few Americans. Tens of thousands stood respectfully for hours, spontaneously forming lengthy lines along the shore of Columbia Point on Boston Harbor for a chance to walk past his casket. It was a testament to respect for a special moment in history, but more poignantly to a deep sense of personal loss. A member of the family had died, and the grief was evident on the faces of people who sacrificed hours to be together there. "He was out there every day, fighting the fight for us -- especially for our health," the Rev Jesse Jackson told me, as he signed the guest book. "And look how much these people loved him for it."Dowling Criticises Leadership Of Church
James Roberts, E-CORPUS
“I think the moral authority of the Church’s leadership today has never been weaker,” he said in an address to Catholic laity in Cape Town last month. “It is important in my view that church leadership, instead of giving an impression of its power, privilege and prestige, should rather be experienced as a humble, searching ministry together with its people.”Meditations
The Church in 2010 and France in 1940Eugene Kennedy, NSAC News
Eric Sevareid began his career as a reporter for CBS Radio just as France buckled and fell to the lightning strike onslaught of the German armies in the fair spring of 1940. The country of so many remembered glories seemed in denial to the journalist who described the "unreality in it all." The professional classes displayed "a determined effort to retain... a way and habit of life which the closing in of history was grinding away."He Has Risen As He Said
