Reply #72: Pet monks? [View All]

[magnussun]

"Catholics can be cremated, their ashes can be present at a requiem mass, etc. The Schindlers and their pet monks apparently like to lie about Catholic doctrine. I taught CCD for many years, and my best friend's brother is a Jesuit priest, and he says Mrs. Schiavo can be cremated. Jesuits aren't exactly known as hippies, you know. Jesus."

Pet monks? Are you aware that there are different denominations within this religion? Some are more old fashioned and don't agree with the new allowances. That isn't "lying" about Catholic doctrine."
Your title says she WILL have a Catholic burial. Has mikie boy agreed to let her parents have a "pet monk" at the funeral to perform rites and rituals? For that matter, will the loving, loyal, faithful
husband (who kept his marriage vows, until the "in sickness" part) allow her parents to attend their daughter's funeral?
