I don't understand why people on this board believe all Catholics think the same way. There are as many Catholic modes of thought as there are Catholics.

My Catholic family is very liberal. Suicide would be considered a tragedy, but nothing problematic in terms of the Church. My Catholic friend lost a relative to suicide, and it was the same - they mourned the loss, but they didn't have any particular religious issue. I've never personally heard of any priest or Church refusing to do the funeral or burial for a suicide.

I don’t think many posters here have accurate information about many facets of various religions. They have encountered someone in the past that was abusive or an extremely terrible person who was a Christian, and have based their entire opinion of Christianity on that one person. There is one particular poster who was verbally abused by her aunt (why her own mother didn’t step in and stop the abuse she never explains or even acknowledges) and told some inaccurate and harmful things by this obviously mentally ill aunt. This poster was scarred and still is affected by the things her aunt told her as a child. Why would her mom not tell her own sister to stop telling her child such harmful and awful things I have no idea! It’s gross! Mom must have been absent and uncaring while crazy aunt had her way, damaging this young family member.

At any rate, people with questions like this can google them as well. I’d rather get a baseline answer from an official source about these topics. [/quote]
