Interesting this hyper vigilance as to the Church’s position.

Why would Piergiorgio Welby desire a funeral by a Church who’s teaching he rejects

Perhaps because he was your typical Catholic? Do you blindly follow every edict that flows from the mouth of your Pope? If the answer is yes, then I feel sorry for you.

why would Mr Rivera by concerned that he get one?

Perhaps he was simply expressing his disgust at a hypocritical, cultish, overbearing, tyrannical, manipulative, misplaced and undeserving authority? “he who always speaks in the name of love” – now that’s a hoot.

Tell me, Anne Marie, do you believe that criticizing the Catholic Church is an act of terrorism? Be sure to choose you answer carefully. If ‘yes,’ then you’re a lunatic. If ‘no,’ then you’re a heretic.

Welby was roman catholic.
His family desired a religious funeral.

Under the proposed legislation that was defeated last week (HR 1592) here in the USA ?offenses involving actual or perceived? threats based on a persons religious beliefs, among other protected categories, could indeeed be persecuted as criminal. <br /> Sure the catholic church is being hysterical but haven't we all come to expect that? Most reasonable people whose judgement isn't clouded by pro catholic indoctrination will just laugh this off as one more instance of the pope getting his knickers in a twist over nothing.

Who would do all the popey things?

A mildly trained dog could, or even a small child.

Interesting this hyper vigilance as to the Church’s position.

You mean the official position that may or may not have been changed a number of times. Consistency is not an adjective of the RCC.

Or maybe you could show me the passage where artificial life support is mentioned in the babble?

Or perhaps you could tell me what the RCC position on organ donation is, b/c once an individual has been declared brain dead (like Schiavo), it is legally acceptable in the US to pull the plug & harvest organs.

Or would jay-sus rather have two dead people, one from the already dead person, and the other on a waiting list?

Like I said, consistency is too polysyllabic for morons.
