Watching live stream outside the church (no audio or video inside). The singing of the choir can be heard out on the street and a small crowd is outside waiting for it to end.
I don't know whether the 9/11 flag has been displayed. The AZ Star says it is going to be hung between to fire trucks outside the church.

Where are the t-shirts? Where are the political speeches?

Seriously. May God comfort and give peace to those who grieve.
This is a Catholic Mass. The Homily is now live at the link. Very moving...
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the soul of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
9/11 Flag? Why? Isn’t that unnecessarily unearthing and reviving old wounds? This wasn’t a 9/11 style attack. What gives.
She was born on the date of the 911 attack and that incident has a big effect on the child.
May God Bless Christina.
My prayers are many and often for the Mother, Father and Brother left behind.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the First American-born Saint, pray for us.
IIRC, the girl was born on 09/11/01 ...
Thank God that the Phelps freaks have kept their distance.
Gallagher is giving them one hour of airtime.
The Mass is over. Led by a bagpiper and the Bishop, the casket was wheeled out and placed in the hearse with the family beside it. Then everyone went back into the church and the doors were closed for a reception. The burial is private.
The pool feed was still live with other reporters at the microphone.
The Phelps freaks announced they would picket the judge’s funeral at 10 a.m. tomorrow in the same church.
The judge had gone to mass and I assume received communion immediately before he was shot and killed. I don’t know how one could be in a better state of God’s grace.
See, how thousands of “Obama” lock-steppers turned out for the “political” pep rally for failed POTUS Obama and hundreds or less barely showed their faces for the funeral of this innocent Princess snatched from life by a raving maniac!!! Christina Green, may our magnificent Lord, God almighty, receive you in heaven for eternity and...may you forever be a guiding light and inspiration to all who love freedom, compassion, dignity, respect and our wonderful country, to whom, in your nine short years among us, you brought the zest of life, enjoyment, competition, love and true unabashed brotherhood to your gifted and blessed being. God bless you dear child, and all your earthly loved ones, forever. Yes, dearest servant of our Lord, the Father, you are for all eternity, a hero that resides in the hearts of all Americans!!!
for all the time spent talking about whether the congresswoman is moving her toes or "more "alert" the fact that a pro life federal judge was gunned down and KILLED along with others including this little girl just is not being reported as of equal importence....
if this were a pub congressmen, there would be nada tv coverage or speculation...
There were 1,800 inside the church and hundreds more lining the street leading to the church.
Local firefighters look at The National 9/11 Flag which flew at 90 West Street in New York City as part of the funeral services for Christina-Taylor Green at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. Green was born on September 11, 2001, therefore the flag was flown from New York to be part of the services. Thursday January 13, 2011. Mamta Popat/Arizona Daily Star.
There were 1,800 inside the church 50 outside the church and hundreds more lining the street leading to the church for a quarter mile. See some of the pictures at the photo gallery link at the top of the page.
Sorry about the duplicate post.
Friend, the city of Tucson has roughly 600,000 people. The University of Arizona has about 40,000, staff, students and post graduates. Combining these numbers results in about 640,000 folks in the the metro area of Tucson. Had it not been for the looney students and the Democrat politicos, few people would have showed up and about for the Obama “carnival” show last evening. The attendance of just relatively a few folks at the Christina Green funeral is embarassing to say the least and informative about how little the POTUS, his wife and his political party really care about Christina. This young lady was “a special child”, born on the day that America suffered an attack and tragedy, killing thousands of innocent Americans, 9/11. And....God, our Lord, deemed it as he fashioned her as an outgoing, curious, adorable young lady, full of life, zest and ambition, a vision of an America yet to come. And...when the Lord takes this innocent to the bliss of heaven very early in life through tragedy, this is a great loss for her family, her loved ones, ones that loved her and....all of America. Yet, in her passing and knowing of her dreams, we must honor her time spent with us and treat her as the special child, human being and American she was. Our present POTUS and his wife did not do this, his political cronies did not do this, his college student ranters, screamers, and insulters did not do this and the people of Tucson were at least remiss across the board, IMHO!!! The media fawns all over this POTUS. I don’t. At the end of the day, like all of his other speeches and actions, this event, this speech goes nowhere. He does not know how to mourn and never will. He loves only himself. And...he will never be a leader of men and women. He is far too shallow and egotistical for this. Me, I’ll just remember the glow and promise of the smiling face of America, Christina Green, “the” special child of our Lord and country.
