The current controversy re what happens in the church during a funeral Mass makes for some interesting observations.
Of course it is important that the funeral is carried out in a dignified fashion and in accord with the liturgical rites of the Catholic Church.
The current discussion centres around the music used and the eulogy spoken at the end of the Mass.
And not a word about the sometimes nonsense preached by priests at funeral Masses. Before the Irish Catholic Church 'preaches' and 'orders' people how funerals should be conducted they should see to it that all its officiating priests celebrate liturgies and preach sermons that are fully in accord with the liturgical rites of the Catholic Church.
