And why didn’t this guy carry life insurance?  I have about $2 million ....” to the point that I have to watch my back :laugh1:

Of course, I have no idea, but I once met a trad (young man and father of 10) who told me he had ”cancelled all his insurances.”

He said they were all a scam.

I didn’t press him on the issue, because it wasn’t any of my business, but I sensed that he thought there was something immoral about insurance (like how some people object to stock market speculation).  

Personally, I tend to lean in the opposite direction (ie., i’d wonder whether not carrying health or auto insurance was moral, and would feel a bit naked without homeowners or life insurance), but maybe there’s other/stronger reasons he had which I’ve not considered?

Thank you for sharing this.  Very worthy alms, accompanies us in our confessions to root out vice and grow in virtue.  Tragic loss, but praise God they have the faith.

PM from Fr. Sretenovic (with permission):


“Hello, Sean. I only have a moment but it was Joe Wilson. I was the priest there. He was only home because of a funeral Mass that day for his mother-in-law. The description given to Matthew is true which made it that much more tragic although it also seems that there may have been natural causes leading to his fall. I was able to Absolve, Anoint, and give the Apostolic Pardon to him before he died as the oldest confirmed that he was still breathing at the time. I will return for the Funeral on Saturday. You may share this publicly. Twenty years a priest this upcoming Wednesday and this was probably the biggest tragedy I have yet witnessed and been a part of…all in Divine Providence which was itself a great consolation for the family because of the timing with a priest right there. God bless.”
