Would you want to share the funeral of someone you loved with lots of other families, while a bunch of priests went on about God and said nothing about the person you'd lost? Rows of coffins, plenty of priestly platitudes, a papal message about feeling "spiritually present", but no memories, no affectionate tributes. No. Me neither.
Yes, what price individuality, or even differentiation? It was a very gloomy spectacle. All that sing-song tosh. It was a theo-takeover. But Sr Berlusconi assures us that they are all camping in Paradise. Was that it?
