I wonder if Teddy Kennedy will be installed as keeper of the wine.

These types of comments show the arrogance of the Priests in the Catholic Churches here in America:

...."the faith, the Gospel, the sacraments and the life of grace were not started by some ordinary 'guy' from scratch here in Connecticut," he said. "Nor can we change the church at whim, as some people think they can."

Referring to people as "ordinary guy" is so demeaning, degrading and disrespectful to Christ who called himself an ordinary man. The Priests who run the churches ruin it all. They are hiding behind the cloth and everyone knows this today.
