Thanks for the interaction in this thread. Having read the reasons why some of the brethren here would attend RC funerals - while I am certainly not convinced they are right - I will be less quick to judge in future. I apologise if I sound dogmatic in my opposition, but it is difficult for someone from an Ulster Evangelical background to grasp why some Christians do not see that going to a mass is wrong. This is because the main enemy we have been fighting is Popery, rather than Secular Humanism - which seems to have been what American Evangelicals have had to mostly battle against in recent years.
