    • @charlesmaximus9161
      @charlesmaximus9161 ปีที่แล้ว

      What a bizarre and completely asinine thing to say. You must be either Protestant or just a typical ignorant anti-Catholic secularist bigot. Catholic churches are already places of joy and happiness, because they are places of prayer and reverence. Dancing and non-liturgical music is perfectly fine for the after party at the pub or at family houses. And all of your predictable, nasty rhetoric about “muh sex scandals” or whatever other nonsense is just pure, pure ignorance.
      I know how much you all just despise this, but, Shane Patrick MacGowan was a Catholic. He prayed daily, received holy communion, and received last rites just before he reposed. You people are doing what you always do so remarkably well, making the man’s funeral about the one thing that you care about most - yourselves.
      Rest in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ and the most Blessed Virgin, Shane. ✝️🙏

    Of all of the peoples of the world, I have found it is the Irish who are best at celebrating the life of a soul passed on. The very best at living in the shadow of death. Even in the same room. We will all miss Shane, and the talent he brought to bear on the world. Even those like me who never met him. He touched us all in some way. In his legacy he will never be forgotten. Perhaps he looks down on us now, and with Kirsty sang along with Glen, Lisa, and the fine ensemble who played for him on his way. I'd like to think so. RIP Shane, but oh to live, not just be alive. Be well everyone.

    • @charlesmaximus9161
      @charlesmaximus9161 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At the after party, yes, certainly. Not during the requiem mass. Notice that the only ones dancing were just a few people in the very front row. That was it. That isn’t usually allowed, but it was probably permitted by the priest given the emotional atmosphere and that fact that it was a spur of the moment type thing.
      Try to remember that MacGowan was a pretty faithful catholic who prayed and took holy communion regularly. With all due respect, a lot of you are making his funeral less about his soul and more about yourselves. Catholics and Orthodox Christians do not have funerals as a “celebration of life”; they are meant for time of deep prayer to assist the soul through the death process.
      If any of you reading this are catholic, please have mass intentions said for the repose of his soul. Before anything else, he was and still is a child of God. The man deserves this.
