Since your opinion is void of facts, as always, let me share an opinion actually based on facts: It is always a mistake to permit a Baptist to be buried in a Catholic Church.

This man was raised in the Baptist church by his grandmother in Argentinia.

Q: "Can you talk to me about your grandmother?"

A: "She went to a Baptist church and then her son died. Her most precious son died of cancer. That was the first time I encountered death, in that I actually saw a dead body and I remember they made me kiss him. I just said it and I felt this thing going through my body. It was traumatic for me. Argentinian funerals and wakes are very dramatic. That’s the Italian influence: people cry, and there are lloronas who cry at funerals. If you don’t have llonaras, it looks like a person was not really loved.

She was in the Baptist church at the time, and she started having issues with the Baptist church not allowing her to be upset. I think the Baptist church idea was she should be happy that he went with God. They told her, “God chooses the most beautiful flowers for his garden.” But she said, “I wanted that flower with me. That was my flower. I didn’t want him to take my flower.” She was upset with God.

...she always kept reading the Bible. The Bible can be interpreted in many oppressive ways, but she never did.

The thing is that churches in small places, churches are not just the church. They’re the whole social understanding of life. The people from church were the people who were gonna help her build a new garden. They were the ones who celebrated the birthdays..."

What are you even talking about? Are you saying St Patricks is not run by a Catholic Priest?

Are you saying they had no obligation to ensure the sanctuary was not used in such a sinful and blasphemous way?

Are you saying I am lying about the arrangements I made for me fathers funeral plans and service?

Are you saying only believe what a Catholic priest tells( in all things) how to believe and you have absolutely zero obligation to seek God’s word on your own and understand it?

Pretty extreme given the factual abuses of some priests and the current defender of the faith as chosen by the pope writes erotic mystical literature.

Explain what facts I needed.
