Dear Hermann the Cherusker,
Thanks for the explanation.
I wonder, though, whether it wasn't quite just a matter of inconveniencing the Rehnquist family.
Justice Rehnquist was one of the more important persons in the United States at the time of his death, and I suppose that there are a lot of folks who want to be at the funeral, including, I'm told, President Bush.
It may be that the later date created more than an ordinary inconvenience, and in a sense became closer to a lack of appropriate facility. I'm not sure that Cardinal McCarrick's actions are too far off from what is intended by the law.
As to your wider point, I find myself unqualified to offer an opinion, so, I won't.
Anyway, thanks again for the explanation.

Facilities aren't to be lent out because people are "important" in the eyes of the world. Otherwise, we'd have to lend out our most beautiful Church for every society wedding demanding it.
