Exactimundo! While I am a lapsed Roman Catholic, I still hold great respect for the Church and I would take great offense if someone insulted my religious beliefs. As a Masonic Knight Templar, I also took an obligation to defend the Christian religion as well, and it's an obligation I don't take lightly.
For many people who are not Catholic, the grand ceremonies that took place during the Holy Father's funeral this (very early)morning is but just a sampling of the Roman Catholic rites most people are exposed to. And much of it is in either Latin or Italian.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen. (In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.)
