catholic burial

[andrewstx]

Although catholic I’ve been to more Protestant funerals than Catholic ones. Often, the music played isn’t religious or sacred it’s often popular music.

At my mom’s funeral it was all secular music, one of the “numbers” played was the country song “One Day at a tahm Swaat Jayzus”.

Because I had been rejected by my mother for converting to the Orthodox Catholic church. The rest of the family remains fundamental Protestants and these at least hate the Catholic church.

There was a distant aunt that converted to Catholicism, and mom told me that at her funeral the priest said he “was praying her out of purgatory”. According to this tale of lies, he would disappear at times and come back more intoxicated each time.

That kind of prejudiced non-sense is very popular with a few Southern Fundamentalists. It is on the same lines as marrying a woman of A DIFFERENT Race, or registering Democrat.

I’m sorry to hear that. I misread that your mother’s funeral was Catholic and that the parish or priest would not let you plan it because you were not Catholic.
