I was very sad to hear of Ted Kennedy’s death this morning. By no means perfect, Kennedy was a man born into a world of wealth and privilege, and yet who devoted his whole life to public service, becoming a leading advocate of the poor and the downtrodden, a clarion call for economic and social justice even during the darkest days of the Reagan years. The saddest part is that he died before he could see his dream of universal healthcare come to fruition. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. And may his dream of social justice never die.
