Living in right-wing-nut land-the Priest couldn't say anything more than a thinly veiled "This guy is going to hell, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars, God save his soul."

Family and friends disagreed and my great uncle's wake was fabulous.

The Priest was so butt-hurt he fled less than a quarter hour into it.
