A 46-year-old husband, father of four children (the eldest is 10), died in Revò, Trento Archdiocese, Italy, and his distraught Polish widow asked for a Roman Rite funeral in Revò's church.
The commissioned priest had performed the couple’s Roman Rite marriage ten years earlier. He contacted the parish which turned to Trento Archbishop Lauro Tisi who hurled a merciless NO in the poor widow's face (AldoMariaValli.it, August 8).
Consequently, the family and three hundred mourners were forced to attend a 37C°/99F° open-air requiem in the cemetery on 5 August.
On August 8, Trento Archdiocese wrote that it didn't deny using “the church itself” and that the relatives themselves mentioned to the parish priest the possibility of celebrating the funeral at the cemetery in Revò. However, this cannot be true. Only for using the cemetery which belongs to the state, they would not have needed to talk to the parish priest.
The archdiocese also complained that the commissioned priests belonged to the sedeprivationist Istituto Mater Boni Consilii.
