Actually, the last time I was there, he celebtated the Mass at my wife's cousin's funeral. He is quite a guy. My wife's cousin was famous for being late to everything she ever attended. On the day of her funeral, the Mass was scheduled to begin at 12:00 noon. Father Newman had her casket wait out in the hearse until 12:10... just so she would be late to her own funeral, just like he said he always told her she would be. LOL
That made it very special for the family, and it lightened things up a bit (she died very young). I gained an enormous amount of respect for Fr. Newman that day, for what he did for that family.
I'm an Episcopalian, but with the turmoil my Church is in, sometimes I feel like I need the "rock" that is the RC Church.
Thanks for the info.
Bless you, and keep thinking, asking, praying. And I mean, make every sacrifice in order to get at the truth. God will help you on the way.
