So yesterday I saw a news feed in which it shares Pope Francis' view on homosexuality. He says homosexuality "is not a crime" but gay sex "is a sin." How can you not have 1 without the other? What the heck is that all about. Are you saying this now as an excuse or cover up of some priests that may be living in this secret lifestyle? I am just saying. Really, I always respected the Jesuits because I looked up to them as scholarly and they read and pondered on thoughts through their philosophical nature. Your statement is way off base with the bible's stance on this very subject, maybe you should read some of the chapters in Revelation or about Sodom & Gomorrah. We recently came across something in my mother's papers which she highlighted about cremation and the Roman Catholic way of handling it. It was an article on Cremation & World Religions this is what was printed under Roman Catholics:
"Roman Catholics: prefer that the body be intact until after the funeral mass. Only Roman Catholics require that the cremains be buried in the ground or at sea or entombed in a columbarium; they may not be scattered or kept by the family."
Who in the heck are you to say what can and can't be done by a Catholic's wishes for their remains. I sure hope it is not a case that Jesus will not know where to find their ashes when the dead in Christ will rise to join and meet Him. He knows all at all times. He can gather up remains in a nano second. What about my brother that was lost at sea and no body remains were found. Do you really think He can't be found by God Almighty that created him? Are you people that dense out there to follow this jibber jabber nonsense rules made by man?
Well, I guess we already broke cardinal rule # 1 because she is already cremated, and we will be taking her ashes back home to Ohio to be placed in the columbarium after the funeral mass. Oops we broke a sacred rule already placed as a burden upon Catholic members that are devout. How in the heck did you think we would be bringing her back to Ohio weeks after her date of death. Do you really think we should have preserved her body in some manner to follow your rules and cremate her after the mass. I am smelling quite frankly a rat here and a money maker for the church. So, if one followed protocol that means more $ spent right. You would need to transport the body, have a funeral showing of some sort which I would guess you would need a casket then a plot at the Catholic cemetery to bury the ashes. How stupid is that but on the other hand you offer at the same cemetery the option of being buried above ground with the ashes being sealed in the niche she selected.
I am telling you people wise up and do not be afraid to question some of this crazy stuff going on right now within the Catholic church. Being the head of the church in your capacity as Pope will place a greater demand of accountability you will have to account before God Almighty on how you led His people in the Catholic church.
One final thought ... if it is allowed to bury at sea then I guess it is ok to take a little bit of my mom's ashes and one day bury at sea in Croatia. I would think the Adriatic Sea has the name sea in it so I guess it is ok. Doesn't God have a creative sense of humor at times and Holy Spirit for giving divine insight to His people.
