Michael Daly recently reflected on Bishop Tony Palmer\u2019s Requiem Mass<\/a> held at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church on Aug. 6th. You might recall that Bishop Palmer was a close friend of Pope Francis. Bishop Palmer became famous after Pope Francis called him \u201cmy Bishop Brother, Tony Palmer\u201d during a video addressed to Kenneth Copeland<\/a>. Sadly, Bishop Palmer died on July 20th after a motorcycle accident.<\/p>\n

Daly spoke with Canon David Ryan, the parish priest at St. John\u2019s, before the Mass. According to Daly,<\/p>\n

Fr. David told us that because Tony was not a Roman Catholic he had to ask his bishops permission to celebrate the requiem and though Tony\u2019 s wife and children are Roman Catholics, permission still had to be given for the requiem. The bishop agreed but said that Tony could not be buried as a bishop as he was not a Roman Catholic bishop. However, Pope Francis said he should and could be buried as a bishop\u2026and so that put an end to that little bit of ecclesiastical nonsense!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Undoubtably some will be up in arms about Pope Francis ecumenical gesture; however, it is through these gestures that Pope Francis is attempting to soften our hardened hearts. Daly ends his moving reflection by quoting Pope Francis\u2019 video address to Kenneth Copeland. Pope Francis\u2019 words in that address show his reasons for treating Bishop Palmer as a fellow bishop:<\/p>\n

I am speaking to you as a brother. I speak to you in a simple way. With joy and yearning. Let us allow our yearning to grow, because this will propel us to find each other, to embrace one another. And together to worship Jesus Christ as the only Lord of History.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
