Our own Matt Malone, SJ, who will soon (and sadly for us) be departing the magazine for theology studies in preparation for ordination, appears on NET, the Brooklyn diocese’s new web channel, speaking about Sen. Kennedy.  Matt is humble about his political acumen and background: he worked for a U.S. Congressman from Massachusetts and ran a political thinktank in Boston.  He’s a talented writer with a huge love of politics.  Listen what he has to say about the death of Ted Kennedy; I’d wager it’s about the best TV commentary you will get in the coming days.

The Rev. James Martin, S.J., is a Jesuit priest, author, editor at large at America and founder of Outreach.
