My grandfather had a regular ceremony at the funeral home, and that minister also di the grave side service. It was pretty clear to me that he did not have a positive attitude about Masonry, but the Mason leader was out of line with his comment. Not saying you ever made such a comment, but this guy did.
The guy may have made the comment in anger after listening to the minister blast the Masons. That being said, I would think that any person hearing that man’s comment would know that is impossible. How could any mortal man a Mason or otherwise, possibly have the last word over God?
