The presence of a priest at the grave should not have bothered me… Except. My wife is a lawyer. And, the Catholic diocese here was ordered by the courts to pay millions in victim restitution for years of abuse. Millions of dollars retirement fund for workers at a Catholic hospital ‘disappeared’. The diocese moved billions into a Catholic charity and declared bankruptcy “Gee, we’re broke.” Of course the current New York bishop was promoted from Wisconsin where, when it owed victim restitution, he tried to hide the $ in a Catholic cemetery maintenance fund and declared, “Gee, we’re broke.” Didn’t fly in Wisconsin. Hope it doesn’t fly here.
But if something is done deliberately it isn’t a mistake, it’s fraud.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions but mistakes are the potholes. I’ve hit some humdingers. Is the road to heaven paved with bad intentions??

Jeb Bush’s answer was not wrong, but it was short and did not give people confidence in his knowledge about Iraq.

Reminds me of Jimmy Swaggart’s “apology”.

Perhaps mentioning the loss of the OceanGate Expeditions’ submersible would be in bad taste.

mistakes like a shallow grave will stink soon enough. and that’s a shallow grave
bbbmorrell over 1 year ago
timely, this is the funeral of the head of the titan submersible company, who was on it when it imploded.

Yes, he died in the passive voice.

He must not have been too bad. He has 4 mourners.

They should check to see if he’s still spinning in the coffin. :-)
