| Aleister Crowley in Golden Dawn garb and David Bowie |
When Princess Diana died suddenly and tragically in an auto accident in 1997, Mother Teresa and her fellow nuns held an overnight prayer vigil for her. While the secular world canonized Diana instantly, Mother Teresa responded more realistically and more charitably, with prayer and sacrifice. Salvation is not guaranteed to anyone and
Diana's past and present offered no assurance of her readiness to face the personal judgment. The appropriate response following what, in Catholic terms, is described as an "unprovided death" is prayer for an endangered soul.
So what are Catholic in the pew to make of a Vatican prelate, Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, gushing over
David Bowie who died on January 10th?
