100 years old? That means he was born in 1913. When the Nazis took over in 1933 he was 20 years old—PRIME age for enlisting the mind of the disenfranchised, whether justified of not. Reminds me of the Liza Minelli film, with Joel Grey—great film.

Why would a Nazi want a church funeral?

Just shows that once you start dissenting, it quickly becomes apparent that you're just another protestant sect.

The SSPX refused the best offer they were ever going to get, from BXVI. They will get no similar offer from HH Francis.

So they will go steadily further and further off the rails, until they are as irrelevant as that idiot in Arizona or wherever who says HE's the Pope.

Too bad, because they could have strengthened the Church if they had only been willing to bend their stiff necks far enough to repent.

They should have said a few prayers at the cemetery and left it at that.

I happen to believe that we need to be consistent. If we can hold a funeral for Kennedy (pro-abortion) then we can hold a funeral for a Nazi (pro-murder). Neither seemed to have publically recanted their non-Catholic beliefs.
