CMR‘s Matthew Archbold reports:

Time Magazine worries that the Pope hasn’t made any statement about the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy in a piece entitled “After Kennedy’s Death: Silence from the Pope.”

As of yet, unlike some other world leaders, Pope Benedict has not commented or issued an official communique in response to Kennedy’s death.

Matthew Archbold reminds TIME that Kennedy was just a senator. But what in the world could the Pope say? This is a case of “if you can’t say something nice, say nothing.”

Take a gander at Kennedy’s sterling platinum pro-abortion record:

Voted NO on defining unborn child as eligible for SCHIP.

Voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion.

Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines.

Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.

Voted NO on criminal penalty for harming unborn fetus during other crime.

Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions except for maternal life.

Voted NO on maintaining ban on Military Base Abortions.

Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions.

Voted NO on banning human cloning.

Rated 100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record.

“Committed to changing the world one life at a time“? Perhaps, but not in a good way. And anything but a champion of the powerless.
