Catholics refer to Protestants as "Christians" for some reason...it just demonstrates their ignorance. Obviously, anyone who worships Christ is a "Christian"- the three main divisions are Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox. Within the Protestant group are several "denominations", including Episcopalian (same as Anglican, or Church of England), Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, etc... They worship differently, but all are Christians. Get it?So now you've learned something.

I thought it was disappointing that Ford's state funeral was not on the grand proportion that Ronad Reagan's state funeral was. Gerald Ford had no horse-drawn caissons, no riderless horse, and not much in terms of ceremonial pomp and pagentry that we did when we had a send off for Reagan in 2004. I think that a state funeral should be done right as they have traditionally been done ever since the Lincoln state funeral in 1865 or not done at all.

@Kildruf79 Ford did not want all the trappings of a state funeral. It was his idea to have a more subtle ceremony.

I feel for Gerald in asking not to have a state funeral in some ways he's got 1 if he likes it or not which is so disrecpectful to deny a man's final wish. Also about cost cutting maybe. Obama nds to cut down how many vehicles he has in the white house garage like does they need a Presidential hearse to keep at the white house what a waste of money on a vehicle which will only be used for another few yrs I am sure this hearse was used for ragan's funeral too that's why my comment is relevant

[taylorwkidd]

The hearse actually belongs to a local funeral home Gawler and Sons. It is fitted for each state funeral, in fact, many "common" citizens have probably lay in the save funeral coach.

[diemaedel]

The National Cathedral is Anglican and is the mother church of the Episcopcal Church USA as the seat of the Presiding Bishop.

[agwatts]

And entirely appropriate for a sectarian service since Pres. Ford was a lifelong Episcopalian, before anyone tries to complain about that.

[wallyman4260]

i want to know if tis catholic or Christian?

[march131958]

@wallyman4260 ......What do you mean Catholic or Christian? Catholics ARE Christian. I am one of "them". Why do people think Catholics are not Christian? By the way,the service was Episcopal.

[adelgado75]

Is the National Cathederal non-demontional?

[itsinthebag2010xyz]

@adelgado75 NO. It's Episcopalian. No Catholics allowed.
