Good afternoon Father. I have a question for you. I'd like to preface this by saying I am an Atheist, and it was another Catholic priest who drove me to do so. When I was 14, my mother committed suicide and the Catholic church that my family has been going to for over 50 years refused to hold a service for her because she "died a sinner" and her soul was paying for it. Why would a Catholic priest say such a thing, especially to my Grandfather - her father - who had contributed thousands of dollars to the Catholic community (before his steel business went under)?

That's what I was guessing. It seems to me like old timer priests can be just as ignorant as old timer people. Thanks Father.
