Our cynicism comes naturally here at this site.
While a departed soul's final resting place is secured on their personal acceptance of the Messiah (no pun intended here), our cynicism comes from years of watching the Roman Catholic church in the USA gives a big moral pass to Rich Irish Catholics.
Maybe it is a great homage to St. Patrick, but a person's state of wealth should have no bearing on their spiritual bank account.
A person’s state of wealth has no influence over whetehr he/she can receive a saving Sacrament.
