Family wanted a canonization and when they didn’t get it, they run to the press. Killing yourself is still a grave sin in the Church.

Correct.

No indication that that’s what the family wanted

Compassion and sympathy were not evident in this priest

This was a very ugly situation. The young man didn’t want his girlfriend or his high school football coach to attend the funeral either.

Apparently, the coach did show up and was asked to leave. The coach wrote and posted something the family didn’t like. Family went to school administration with allegations of abuse and bullying, coach fired by school.

Kid was a pretty decent football player, coach is old-school. No winners in this one.
