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.
