But you are not God and therefore are in no position to make judgment. You are in serious spiritual jeopardy if you feel you are so righteous to be equal to God, who alone judges the state of man's soul.
Sorry big'ol_freeper, but I dont pretend to be or think of my self as equal, or even come close to the Creator. I simply use the emotion,, (or whatever you call it) that he gave me to let my wishes be known. In your dieing breath, you may ASK for forgiveness, but that doesnt mean you will be given it. By the way, this is my opinion. Please allow me to express it.
According to everything the Church teaches he should have had a private Cathokic funeral, at best. It is possible he had a death bed reconciliation with the Church.Since he openly lived his whole life in defiance of Church teachings,it means either the Bishops agree with him or they don’t care about their teachings.
Kennedy is a disgrace and so are all of the participating church officials.
