If it doesn’t fit the Official Catholic Model — the Earthly Heaven Screening Committee — the Shoehorn To Pack Them Into The Box To Glory — to you they’re damned.
We won’t even TRY to convince you otherwise, unless you are willing to budge from that Model to something heretical, like the bible. Which tells of a grace that is larger than all your catechisms can embrace.
I don’t care how much Religion the fellow had. Did he have Faith?
To put in a good word for him, the network shows a lot of quality Christian movies uncut and commercial-free. I recall they had Mel Gibson’s “The Passion” running for several days last year during Holy Week.
The Catholic Church recognizes that non-Catholics can be saved, but that topic has been covered to death (pardon the pun) through the years on the Religion forum. Those threads seem more like an endless fight than a reasonable conversation.
I’ll just ask the Lord to give him eternal rest, and comfort his family.
