After that wedding took place the Vatican labeled Jackie O a 'public sinner'. Ari was long dead when Jackie received Last Rites. If a sinner repents, Christian charity must be afforded her since God is Merciful. Would you not allow her repentance?

Yet she was not excommunicated for marrying a divorced man . That being the case, -She could still receive the Sacraments while married to Ari. They changed their doctrine just for her and her money.
Thanks for a specific example of how the double standard existed then and even now. You may have viewed this link?
Frankly, I could care less what anyone does, it’s their life and their decision(s). I do have a problem with the way the Catholic Church cow-towes to the social elite, then claims to be Christ Like. That is not the right thing to say to it’s Parishioners. This example pales to nothing-ness if you ever lifted up the Rug of the Vatican. (i.e.) Child Abuse, etc. If you love the Catholic church then go there........just don’t preach equality when you don’t walk the talk.
