Father recognized you as a fellow Catholic? (I ask in hope?)

***Father recognized you as a fellow Catholic? (I ask in hope?)***

He knew I was a Protestant pastor. I was surprised he offered. As it turned out, I read Scripture and another fellow Protestant pastor gave a homilee. The priest read a letter from the father of the deceased girl (age 21 or so). The father was a Protestant (who attended our church) and the letter was intensely Protestant in content. My wife sang "How Great Thou Art."

There were about 1500 present. The mother of the deceased attended this RC church and insisted that the funeral be there even though she often visited out church.

Strange event.
