My brother-in-law once told another sister-in-law that her young son went to hell because he drowned in his 20's and hadn't accepted the Lord. Now, it may well be true, but I couldn't get over how cruel it was to say that to them. It turned them to the Jehovah's Witnesses! This priest was also very cruel to say something like that at a funeral for heaven's sake.

"Now, it may well be true, but I couldn't get over how cruel it was to say that to them."

Exactly. No good can come of such mean-spiritedness. I'm inclined to question the Christianity of any 'priest' who would be so cruel.
