Yay, Gracie!

Is anyone watching Ted Kennedy's funeral?

I've been helping Amyth move most the morning, so I've missed it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Aims, I have it on but I'm not really watching it. They're just one pope short of canonizing the guy, and while I don't argue that he did great work as a Senator, I keep thinking about Chappaquiddick.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm right there with you Zen.

I'm turning it off, in fact. One more Bible quote and I may combust.

Good Heavens Rory Kennedy looks like Bobby. Crimeny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just came across it. I found the intercessions surprisingly moving. Also, George Bush looks like hell, I think.

Also also, I would totally wear a veil if I were a chief mourner at a funeral that's on TV. We don't really need to be looking right into these people's faces!

Was the "veil not required" a part of Vatican II or is it more of a "modern" thing?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Aims, Vatican II.

I thought so, but wasn't sure as at RFK's funeral, there will still veils aplenty, but I assume that's a personal choice?

Pre-Vatican II, every woman had to wear a veil in church, right?
