I thought that suicide was an affront to the church. Since one sin is as great as others he basically died committing a sin.
The Lord who looks upon the hearts of men will ultimately judge. Those who are leaders of the CHURCH at large(catholic and protestant) should concern themselves with those things in our world that are affront to God, not an affront to their various notions of orthodoxy!
The blood of men can be cleansed and wiped away but it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses men from all unrighteousness. If the Church at Large is so concerned with those things that are an affront to it instead of to God, then it has forgotten its message! What God has spiritually consecrated, no actions of men can undo that consecration!
