I’m surprised it isn’t at Menino’s precious Islamic Center mosque.

I understand. Menino's mosque

Meanwhile Rome continues to count, treat and honor proabortion, prosodomote promuslim politicians with a church funeral with its inferences of gaining eternal life through the character-affirming eulogy and intercession of the church, as they did for comrades Ted Kennedy and Chavez, and the multitudes that support and follow them.

Statement of Mayor Thomas M. Menino in Response to MA Supreme Court Decision requiring recognition of same-sex marriage:

“Today is a great day for all of our people. Marriage equality first played out right here in Boston and like the many firsts Boston has championed it has proven to be the right path forward for a more open, inclusive America..." - http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/default.aspx?id=6197

Nobody gets to heaven because they have a Catholic funeral after they die. The point of a funeral Mass is to pray for the person's soul, but prayers for the dead are only efficacious if they make it to purgatory.

And, strictly speaking, eulogies are not supposed to be given during the Mass itself.
