It’s not hating. I had various odd jobs as a young teen. One job was to deliver flowers to funeral homes and Catholic churches. I also helped my dad and his friend on high demand weekends at funeral homes and at the cemetery. I learned early the proper etiquette for mostly Catholic funerals and wakes. Did some Greek Orthodox and Jewish funerals as well given the demographics. I went through the proper handling of the deceased from bow to stern when one of my father’s fellow Knights of Columbus passed away. What goes in the casket stays in the casket...period.

At least you were not called “Romophobic, even though the “hate” allegation is also a tactic of the activists for Sodom.

I wonder if Pope Francis ever got in touch with the family of the priest to let them know he had taken the crucifix and not someone else? That would have been the way to proceed instead of retelling the event years later and admitting to being a thief. I'm sure the family would be delighted to know he had the thing and used it in such a way that he thinks would honor the dead priest.

I'll make sure to let my family know to take my two gold tooth crowns before I'm "taken care of" and not leave them to grave robbers. ;o)
