Finding a priest for a funeral
My friend's sister's father-in-law died. The friend, the nun, is Catholic, the sister is a lapsed Catholic and the father-in-law was some other supplemental vitamin. However, the sister would like to have a priest do the honors at the (graveside) funeral and we are trying to get a priest to do the funeral. So far zero. My friend's priest, the Big Herod, has not called back. He probably has not enough coins on him to use a pay phone. My own priest has an almost dead uncle and might have to leave town any minute. A hood priest friend from the black and white hoods said it was disrespectful to the dead to send him a Catholic priest if the dead person was not Catholic. It might be disrespectful to the dead but what if the living want a Catholic priest? We don't really know WHAT the dead person was. As as along as the dead man was not a rabid anti-Catholic, I don't see a problem with a Catholic priest at the funeral. The dead person might have enjoyed a Catholic priest very much.
