Funerals in one’s home not that long ago was the norm. Up until the 1940’s it was common.
My mother has told me stories of her grandparent’s funeral in her parents’ home when she was a child and her mother making her kiss her grandfather goodbye.
These were traditions brought over from the old country.
Only rising standards of living made the funeral home possible and drove out old traditions. Undertakers used to come to your home and embalm and prepare the body for burial in your home.
Death was once much more familiar to people than it is today.
'Progressive' POS's like Colmes actually pride themselves of being ignorant about things like that. That's how they justify almost all of their worthless partisan bigotry and low life sneering and hypocrisy.
Thanks for an excellent explanation. Generally, Christians and certainly Catholics recognize the dignity in and of the Word of God that is attached to the “seed”, in Biblical terms. Here we have a newborn, certainly worthy of dignity as a human soul also. To be able to release someone and let them go in a godly manner and with dignity, it would be nice to first actually receive them into the family and with the family.
Another FReeper said that this newborn suffered from a fatal condition which was known and diagnosed by the physicians, and that this cruel remark was more about the fact that the baby didn not get aborted. If this really is the inherent motivation of liberal wickedness, imagine just how dark their world actually is.
