Good for the pastor.
Chalices are expensive and they had no business being that close to one to be able to damage it.  It sounds like the chalice was empty, thank God, since the priest said there would be no mass.

Absolutely crazy. On one hand, no lay person should be around a chalice unless an altar boy, second, if someone was fooling around with one I’d be angry too. A consecrated chalice reserved to hold the Blood of Christ?? Hands off!

after seeing the video.  It makes more sense.  (The media is a mess. )  It was NO open casket viewing before NO service where family is near altar and usually not much room when greeting people.  

That was terrible what the priest did to family and friends.  

Yes, may Agnes Hicks, RIP

Why wasn't the chalice on the credence table where it wouldn't get knocked off? At the funerals I have been to the people are seated in the church with the exception of the family. The body is outside of the church in the narthex. The priest invites the family members to place the pall onto the casket (which is closed). Then they process in with the casket and mass begins.
There may be more to this story than what the media is portraying. I have heard stories about situations where the funeral was cancelled in ways that were dramatic.

Good point. (Tried to give a thumbs up and it didn't work.(
