As it says, I was at a funeral today, a Catholic one. The local Anglican Archdeacon sat at the priest’s right hand, she did the Reception of the Body, the Sprinkling with Holy Water, she read the Gospel (I could see she was surprised when the priest directed her to do so) and she did the Final Commendation and incensing.

Kudos to her for not receiving Communion because other non-Catholics did.

Oh goodness.
 
Why did he let an Anglican cleric read the Gospel at a Catholic funeral?
 
Doesn’t surprise me. A lot of people are taught that Anglicans and Anglicanism is just “another branch of Catholicism”, which is blatantly false! People refuse to see the boundaries because they don’t want to offend others.This doesn’t send a good message to the people.
