CNN —The day after Valentine’s Day, a massive, fabulous funeral was held at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York to honor the late, great Cecila Gentili.
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is perhaps the most famous Catholic church outside of the Vatican.
Enrique Salvo, pastor of St. Patrick’s, did not mince words in a statement he issued from the Archdiocese of New York’s office only days later.
Cecilia Gentili's casket is brought into St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, on February 15.
The Archdiocese of New York revealed its true colors with this statement, and along with them, the persistence of anti-LGBTQ judgment within the Catholic Church.
