> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I wonder why the Catholic Church would bestow such an honor on a man who’s been divorced three times. (Not that there’s anything wrong with divorce in my opinion but I thought the Church frowned upon it, and wouldn’t let a divorced person remarry in a church.) At the time he had only been divorced once, and he had also had his first marriage annulled in the Catholic church. (He’s not a Catholic, but his second wife was.) He was one of a number of prominent Los Angeles residents who were given honours in recognition of their work for, or donations so, the Catholic church or Catholic charities in Los Angeles. His (then) wife received a similar honour at the same time. ---

Speculation not repeated (other than with reference to the March article) or substantiated since. Ouch. I guess I should request a name change to **gullibulus**. I did notice a photo of Deng and Putin; even I could tell it _looked photoshopped_; but I didn’t connect the dots. :smack: ---

> [@septimus](#): > > [They bestowed a similar honor on Michael Corleone after he gave confession.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2QvuZpxmeo) 1. “The Godfather Part III,” was a movie based on characters and settings from a novel. It was not a documentary. 2. If it had been a documentary, then what’s said in confession is inviolate elsewhere, and the priest who hears a confession cannot reveal, directly or indirectly, the matters discussed. Therefore, “they,” could invest Micheal as a Commander of the Order of St. Sebastian regardless of what he said in confession.
