Person du Jour


Richard James Cardinal Cushing

1) Member of the NAACP
2) Absolved the Jews of killing Jesus (cough)
3)  Celebrated Kennedy's funeral Mass, as well as officiated his marriage in 1953

Scary dude in his ferocity re: Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, which obviously I do not follow. But I do not remember not knowing his name (perhaps as the child of super-Roman Catholics from Boston)
