The Rock at the funeral

A reader writes:

Attended a Catholic funeral today.

The family, typical American Catholic, which means I have no idea where they stand. The closest friend there is essentially what I would now pejoratively call an Episcopalian.

Anyway, I was happily surprised. The deceased was not canonized, and the priest said, "All the Church maintains is the historical reality of Jesus' resurrection, and the hope that we also may rise."

I would nitpick, but times as they are, I thought, Wow! Truth! The Church is not the best looking girl at the ball. She is the Rock.
