I strongly disagree. Real action on the part of the hierarchy would bring the issue into sharp moral relief. It is precisely the inaction of the bishops which provides comfort to the CINO majority by providing tacit approval of their apostasy. Do you really believe that if the Church refused a catholic burial to someone like Ted Kennedy, for example, that that action would not have impact?
For those in the choir, yes. But for the mainstream (both Catholic and non-Catholic) the “morality” will be placed with Obama and the immorality will be pinned on the bishops.
How many times do I have to repeat, yes,the bishops should excommunicate, because it’s the right thing to do.
But don’t fool yourself into thinking that it will help. It will be used as a further reason to persecute us.
That’s the mess we are now in. Denial won’t help.
It is just possible that he repented before death and was then given a Mass of Christian Burial. We cannot know, but Our Lord knows His friends and is fooled by no one.
