Obviously to be Republican is to be holy, more knowledgeable than a Cardinal, probably even better Catholics than the Pope. If they were a Confessor, they would probably ask if the penitent is a Democrat and tell him to leave because he couldn’t believe him.
NOTHING in my posting deals with the holiness or lack thereof in the deceased.
EVERYTHING is about the integrity of our funeral liturgy, the same for Pope or Politician or Pauper, Democrat, Republican, Independent.
Wise up.
