What on earth is Jesus on about in the gospel this weekend with all his glorified social work 'Happy are those who grieve...' stuff and nonsense??

He clearly doesn't 'get' Church teaching. None of this girly crying please and let the grieving pull themselves together. A stiff lecture on the cleansing fires of Purgatory is what God requires at funerals and none of this 'talking up' the stiff!!

And the same goes for the pure in heart and poor in spirit. Get your acts together, get the Latin brievary out and stop all the whining about your situation! We all know that, that's what Jesus really meant.

You and I both know you won't be praying for me so skip the condescension. I'm way too far gone in any case. Dressing up just doesn't do it for me. Being cruel to suffering people certainly doesn't float my boat. A pox on those for whom it does.
