I like what John Paul II did. It was all those before him that didn't allow it because the Catholic Church said it is a sin to take your life.

My grandfather got a head injury while working in the mines. A few years later he couldn't take the pain anymore and took his own life. I cannot see it being a sin. I don't think he knew what he was doing.

If it wasn't so expensive and the state making it so complicated I would have my grandfather re-buried. It bothers me where he is buried and the fact that he is not buried with his wife and other family members.

I always thought the Catholic Church was wrong by not allowing a funeral Mass and to be buried in the Catholic Cemetery.

I agree with Catie. It is God who does the judging, so what gave them the right to refuse? Jesus Christ died for us, so was his death pointless? That's one of the reasons I did not become a Catholic, too many things not right about it.
