text: A man writes about his father's death and funeral, and all you can think to write about is how unfair it was that so many priests and a bishop presided at the funeral mass?  How petty.
  Please take a look at MSW's bio.  He is a Visiting Fellow at Catholic University's Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies.  Arguably he meets and is friends with more priests and bishops than the average person, and they came to support him in his time of grief. Not because MSW is important, but because they know him personally and wanted to provide moral and religious support for a friend.
  There is plenty to comment about MSW and his politics and religious writing.  However, this type of comment on the day of his father's funeral is disrespectful and unacceptable behavior from anyone, Catholic, Christian, Jewish, Muslim or None of the above.  This comment should not have passed the Civility test.
