At my mother’s funeral Mass I ended up fighting with the parish because they wanted the family to speak and kept asking for musical suggestions. I wanted to suggest Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy but kept quiet. I eventually got my own way; a quiet Mass, with one song in latin and no eulogies. Phew!
This article comes at a needed time. Going to a wake tomorrow.The person in was active in local GOP politics and supported Mr. Trump early on. Plus he was active in my home parish.
Good for you! See my #27.
