text: Having a Catholic funeral for a public, unrepentant person of grave sin would be a scandal to the faithful. That is why the Church tries to help those who are still alive to change their hearts and minds and lives. If a baptised Catholic refuses, why should they expect to receive the sacraments or a Catholic funeral? 
  Neither God nor I am hung up on sex, but a large part of humanity is, most notably the pro-LGBT crowd. The way I see it, after much prayer and spiritual reading, is that the reason some things are considered such grave sins is not because God doesn't "like" them, but, due to the nature of God and the nature He gave us, there are certain acts (sins) which weaken the soul, some even to the point of death, making one's soul unable to withstand the fire of God's Love after death. God hates these things that sicken our souls because He wants ALL to be with Him after this life. So He is very harsh with regard to sin.
