text: So sad. I remember as a kid the area "outside" the Catholic cemitary where people who "didn't make their Easter duties", or whatever, were buried. We bury people in the understanding of our connection and of the expectation, the hope of God's mercy. It is not in the "worry"- at least shouldn't be - of some scurillous possibility of "scandal". It should not be in the declaration of God's lack of mercy. We are supposed to be that very scandal. Whether we agree or not we love....not.
