So, how does that work? How does one go about asking questions of a dead person? Have a seance? Or hire a witch?

Or  do you prefer to rely on tea leaves or the bones of aborted babies which you rub together to make "a sound" (that is,
a sound that can be interpreted by the initiated as intelligible speech -- a verified technique reported by a priest/exorcist)?

Several priests have told me there is absolutely no way of knowing if anyone had achieved perfect contrition at the moment of death, outside of divine revelation, and there has never been such a thing on the official record.

There is a story from the life of St John Vianney. There was a woman whose husband committed ѕυιcιdє. She was disconsolate. She wrote a letter to St John Vianney and asked to see him without telling him the reason why. When she arrived in Ars she went to see the Saint. When he saw the saint greeted her by telling her that her husband was saved, that he had made an act of contrition between the bridge and teh water and that her prayers could shorten his time in Purgatory.

You have no idea -- this is all speculation.
If you want to speculate, go ahead, but PLEASE base it on reliable facts, not off-the-wall nonsense.

Right, that's what I'm doing speculating on the facts that I have from his prior personal life, apparent aquaintences and hard core drug use. Bourdain was the consumate hipster who dabbled in a sometimes dangerous subculture full of drug-addled inviduals who were capable of anything at anytime given the circuмstance if they were under the influence or in desperate need of money to support their habit. These are the people that he tooled around with, these are the people he felt most comfortable with and these are the people he subjected himself to. He a counter -culture guy and immersed himself in the "lifestyle", so anything's possible.
I'm not stating for sure that there was foul play at the scene of his death, they just state that he was found from an APPARENT hanging and if you're invovled on the dark side of the culture, anything's possible. I'm not going to get into it, but, I have personally seen the effects of a situation like this in the past. These kind of scenarios are very possible, it's not just some "off the wall" nonsense. Also, we still haven't heard from the results of the toxicology reports whether drugs or medications were invovled, which I have a strong suspicion is the case. and when there's heavy drugs invovled, everything's suspect.

That's very odd for an over century-old event. Especially for something - although very tragic - that happened during the First World War. 

He did a lot of traveling to questionable parts of the world where political dissenters and opponents are routinely killed, including Russia. If they wanted to ever take him out, they likely had hundreds of opportunities.

In any event since we don't know what the final judgement was I think it is best for us to pray for the repose of his soul that God give him a merciful judgement.

Poche, I'm relatively new to taking my faith seriously, but if there's one poison I can speak of to almost causing me to lose my faith entirely, it's over reliance on mercy and clemency.  I'm not saying you necessarily are doing wrong, just that you remind me a lot of how I used to be, and that almost led me to thinking that God was uncaring and cruel once I read through the Bible.

If we can't rely on the clemency and mercy of God then what can we rely on? If God were to give me what I deserve I would be doomed. The sacrament of  confession is an example of the clemency and mercy of God. Through confession we are forgiven of our sins. If God wasn't clement and merciful we would all be lost.

This could well have precipitated his death.

Though I would give too much credibility to that website or to that author, who puts the blame on Muslims for the atrocities, without mentioning that the Young Turks were intent on creating a secular society, and that the Young Turks were principally Jєωιѕн and crypto Jєωιѕн revolutionaries.

Bourdain was, at least, half Jєω by blood. Jєωs don't murder or sacrifice other Jєωs, even when they are in opposition to each other, if they can help it. Some deaths might result that are incidental but not purposeful, as long as the agenda of Jєωry is effected.  (It's similar to today's judicial system where Jєωs don't get convicted of crimes unless they're guilty of defrauding or wronging another Jєω. Eg. Bernie Madoff)

Bourdain is in hell for eternity. He was an atheist Jєω who committed ѕυιcιdє. He met three conditions of sending a soul to hell:

1) atheist
2) not being a member of the only Ark of Salvation - the Catholic Church
3) ѕυιcιdє is unforgivable, if the person's mental state that led to the ѕυιcιdє wasn't altered by an external contributor such as psychiatric drugs which are proven to do far more harm than good to a person's mental state.

Bourdain's ѕυιcιdє is an act of despair, and it meets at least 1 of the 6 sins against the Holy Ghost. Sins against the Holy Ghost are unforgivable.

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. ~ Mark 3:29


The Catechism of the Council of Trent clearly states: http://www.catholicapologetics.info/thechurch/catechism/TenCommandments-fifth.shtml

With the French origins, he may have been baptized.

Many of the French (and culturally Catholic ethnicities, for that matter) will have their children baptized for the sake of having it done and then completely reject it. It's just what they did. 

He may have been part of the Church for like, an hour.

Interesting video. I watched most of it. Alex Jones says that Bourdain was going to expose the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr, and that he had refused to go along with CNN's plan to have Bourdain involved with Trump-bashing on his show.

Though I don't totally trust Alex Jones, he does at least offer another POV from that of the brain-washing mainstream media. What I find somewhat implausible is that Elon Musk had been the one that talked Bourdain into realizing the truth about the NWO, and that something should be done about it (though I suppose it's possible).

It seems unlikely that Bourdain committed ѕυιcιdє.
