Should Cuomo get a Catholic funeral?

It is my understanding that as a politician he went against the Catholic church on the issue of abortion. That was not insignificant. One cannot "be" Catholic and be a politician who opposes the Catholic church's major issues.

When a person is denied a Christian burial in the Catholic Church it's an excommunication from the Catholic Church in which there are only a few crimes against the Catholic Church that would warrant an excommunication from the Catholic Church.

Should and will are two different things. He will get a Catholic funeral, and a big one to boot. Should he? I don't see why not...he spent a lot of money buying his salvation.

Do you mean Rivers Cuomo? If not, I have no idea who you're talking about.

I don't know too much about him, but Catholics who are involved with premarital sex with their fiances, should not be allowed to marry in any church. The person should be in good standing.

Of course he should. He was a practicing Catholic so why not? Wait, let me guess - you're an antiabortion nut and you didn't like Mario's stance on that issue. Is that it?

Yes. He was a practicing Catholic. He was against the death penalty (a stance of the RCC), for relieiving suffering (again at the core of the RCC). He did not crusade against abortion but do you want your politicians following the law or their private beliefs?

Only if he wanted one. If you don't know, then only if he was Catholic.

Why should he not get one? He was Catholic, wasn't he?

Was he Catholic? did he want one? Why are you asking strangers, that's his family's role.
