Filth
The Catholic Church is an organisation of worthless vultures and thieves.
Remembering the dead is important, of course, and it’s important for people to be with their family when they’re at their emotionally most vulnerable. That makes it all the more disgusting when these ghouls pervert these occasions to make them all about themselves and their little cult, pushing the deceased—and the family—entirely to one side, and hiding them behind stock one-size-fits-all prayers (they had grandchildren read prayers calling him “opa”; not a single one of us ever called him anything but “bonpapa”) and bullshit stories (because obviously glorified accounts of God raining death down on the Israelites are very relevant to my grandfather).
Anyway, that was the wake. Funeral’s tomorrow.
