TH I'm sorry for your loss and for the lack of compassion shown by a "man of God". I had to wait a couple of days before responding since this subject is a particular hot button for me. Needless to say the Catholic Church has let a great many people down. The Shepherd (Popes) have not protected their flock. At one time I was a novice in a convent studying to become a Nun. Eventually I left the convent but I've retained a love of the rituals of the church; I no longer consider myself a catholic but do consider myself a sprititual person. I've learned to take what I want from organized religions and leave the rest.

I know that your beloved cousin is at peace now and that her peace is no longer dependent on the whims of a particular person.
