furious
I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunatly this was not just one priest. it seems to be the churchs culture, three, different states, three different situations, three same outcomes. the church was not there for me and my family, this is not the church I was raised in,

I am also so sorry for your loss and share your grief and your frustrations.
Their good memories and contributations in life should not be dimished buy this act. I am not Catholic or as religious as I should be. Yet in my teachings I don't think Jesus ever stepped over or ignored a person in need. Judgement will come for someone way above us Herv Last edited by CarGuys; 05-20-2012 at 10:06 PM. |

Memory
This brings back the memory when the preist who was going to marry us, (my wife was Catholic and I was not). Preist said my brothers could not be in the wedding as they were not Catholic. I told him my father's boss (Bishop in New York City Protestant Church) had just returned from a Conference with the Pope and I could make arrangements for him to call Rome for special dispensation. He called then Cardnial Spellman in NY City and yep, no problem I could have anyone in the wedding. So much for the "rules"..

Sorry for your loss and that priest didn't make it any easier at a very sad time.
We had same thing about 30 years ago in Lehigh Acres Florida. Priest did come to hospital and give mom her last rites before we got to hospital because she had listed her religion as Catholic and she was. When we asked him to do the memorial service he refused because she wanted to be cremated and it was against church policy at that time per the priest. We did find a very nice Baptist minister who agreed to do memorial service for us even though he had never met mother or us.

Very sad thread. I never read it before. I attended Catholic schools from kindergarten through high school in Wisconsin. The original poster did indeed have an unfortunate situation and it happens too often. I had a few very similar situations in my life. The important thing now is to be comfortable with your relationship with God.
