I'm Byzantine rite, and all I want - which I won't get here in the South - is "Beholding the Sea of Life..." sung at my funeral. Uless I become Orthodox, which I would not do because that would mean rejecting all of Western theology, philosophy and culture.

It's a pity the Orthodox can't separate the cultural from the religious, and maybe get a more rational and less culturally biased view of Peter's primacy, but then - I guess that's why I am still with Rome, hideous as the rite may be.

But if anybody sings On Eagle's Wings, I'll come back and haunt them. Forever.

Ditto on On Eagles Wings. I will follow the wrongdoers who allowed it played whereever they go, singing it in my ghostly voice from their rafters until they go insane, the way I do when I hear that crappy song in Church
