I have no problem with them doing that. However, I can still question their
judgement, not just for standing in line for so long to see a dead body,
but also in contributing their time, attention, spirits and money to an
organization (the Catholic church)

I wouldn't do it.

which, as any educated person knows, has a reputation that's dubious, at
best.

I'd clarify that to say "dubious, at worst". Then I might agree with you.
The Catholic church has done far more good than bad in the last couple of
centuries.

Doug,
A funeral and wake is for the living, not the dead. For those standing
in line, it is worth it. What is your problem with others doing what
they want?

The Church condones the 'rhythm method' as an acceptable method
of birth
control.

Who gives a ****? Seriously....what sort of person orders his or
her life
based on advice from a huge club made up of people who've sworn off
marriage
& sex (except with young boys)?


Well Doug, a few billion Catholics, that's who. Now let me give the
rest
of your
post the attention it deserves.

So, in other words, a few billion people take family planning advice
from
men who've sworn off family life. I understand now. That's like going
to a
podiatrist for heart problems.


PS. If you want to know who may give a ****, turn on CNN, NBC, CBS,
etc. You'll
get the idea.

Yes. A million people viewing a dead guy who's supposed to have his
own red phone to god. And, they're waiting about 24 hours to see the
body. To that, I offer what many mothers used to say: "Just because
your friends do something stupid doesn't mean YOU have to."

You never attended a wake, Doug?


Don't be a smartass. Nobody's wake merits a 24 hour wait. Nobody.
Period.
