text: The main anti-Church comments below center on the idea that there is no sin, that nothing is really sinful...."Two consenting" adults should not be "judged". There can never be a separation between us and God. There is no sin, there are no consequences of sin. There is no hell, unless you're a bishop "we don't like".
  
  Or, maybe "the funeral is for the people in order to "have closure". Little else here.
  
  If people only knew the joy of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the beauty & the awe of this gift from God.
  
  It would take just a bit of humility and the littlest effort for the dying person to say "I may have been wrong in how I lived the Gospel....there's at least a chance of it...therefore I owe it to my friends and to My Lord and God to attempt a reconciliation with God's Church...".
  
  How easy it is to be reconciled and how great is this Sacrament.
  But most people deny there are things like the Sacraments, nd by implication the Mass, and oddly, the Mass of Christian Burial itself!
