Not surprised. They called for a priest when the accident occurred. May the child rest in peace and his family be consoled by the prayers of his Catholic family.
Catholic ping!
Thanks for the ping. As I said on the initial news of this tragedy, and it was a tragedy, in my opinion the child doesn’t need our prayers, there is no way there was any sin on his soul. If anything, as Catholics we should be asking for his intercessory prayer for US. He’s the Saint now. In Heaven enjoying the full Beatific Vision.
May his prayers comfort and help his family through this most difficult time. I will try to remember to keep them in my prayers as well. They did the right thing, settlement or not, declining to sue. It’s best to focus on the family health now a court case would just prolong and inflame the pain.
