It would be very interesting to explore the theology of he or she who feels justified in passing such judgments over a family's way of handling their grief!

I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you should explore the very public politics of President Reagan's son before making your own ill informed judgments.

The politics of Mr. Reagan's son have nothing to do with my comment. His memories of his father, expressed in a service to commemorate his father's passing, should not be a subject for judgmental wise-cracks. And the particular passage, which you and several others have referred to, should not offend any genuinely religious person. He spoke of the genuine faith and sincere commitment of his father. He distinguished his father from poseurs and hypocrites, but named no one as such. Only one who acknowledges wearing his "Faith" on his sleeve for ulterior motives, could possibly take offense.

If some folk are looking for a fight, because they do not like the son's politics, they should wait for a more appropriate occasion. His father's passing and funeral is not a fit occasion for such confrontational efforts.
