No funeral mass for sinner Gotti ?

 I am more bemused than outraged that a sinner amongst us - one

    John Gotti - was denied a funeral mass. An image problem for the  Catholic

    Church which will no doubt -in the future - deny the dignity of a funeral

    mass to many other sinners , among them pedophile priests, homosexuals,

    women who had abortions, Catholic politicians who were " pro-choice ",

    errant theologians.

             But who will be left amongst us  sinners to forgive the Church

    for 2000 years of intellectual tyranny and moral arrogance ?

               John Gotti was at least as respectable as some long dead Popes

    and Cardinals. He deserved more RESPECT from the Church that instructed

    him on the nature of GOOD and EVIL.

           Didn't the Baltimore Catechism suggest that only God renders a

    last judgment on  the soul of the sinner ?

               RIP John Gotti !
