I attended a Catholic school. My husband and I went through Pre-Cana. Our priest flew from Rome to marry us.
Two of my three children were christened by the Catholic church.
Crap like this is why we coverted to Baptist.

She (Holy Mother Church) is still the spotless Bride of Christ, regardless of the misbehavior, arguably blatant unbelief, among many of her fallible priests and prelates, including specifically Timothy Cardinal Dolan of NYC who is directly responsible for this disgraceful spectacle.
Obviously, your husband is NOT Catholic and you decided to go his way.....it's YOUR soul. and you put this info out here. Don't blame me for commenting on it.
As Protestants — one Baptist, one Calvinist Presbyterian — I doubt either of us would be granted a funeral service in a Roman Catholic church. But this atheist was? Seems odd. Does the church allow that now?
