Nancy,
I believe in Italy, a body cannot be removed by anyone other than medical professionals.

What? No laypeople at that Mass able to carry her out?

No nurses or docs in the audience to sit by the body until the ambulance arrived?

(I’m a doc…and have treated seizures, faints, and heart attacks in church)…

I agree: the priest can’t stop mass…I once attended a noon mass where our hospital chaplain kept getting paged…he completed the mass, but speeded it up…than ran to give last rites at the local emergency room…

Shelray: How nice to die in God’s house saying Mass! Everyone there would probably pray for your soul. I want to die like that–that’s the best–although it would be a bit creepy having the dead body lying there.

On the night he was betrayed…

If Our Blessed Lord’s death didn’t interrupt the Mass (do this in remembrance of me) then why should anyone else’s? It is, after all, that which gives meaning to our life and death.
