The Catholic funeral rites is about “what?”

Catholic funeral traditions are about “what?”
The Catholic basis - the 10 commandments – are the source of ideas and solutions however what do they mean when requesting a sanctified funeral?

Is approval based on favorable ethics of the time and or as a political marketing exercise?

It seems that when it comes to sanctified funerals, in contemporary times, only the gay porno movie makers miss out and it seems that the public scandal determines approval or not.

Catholic Funeral rites

The Church denies funeral rites to the following people unless they gave some signs of repentance before death:

notorious apostates, heretics, and schismatics;
those who chose the cremation of their bodies for reasons contrary to Christian faith;
other manifest sinners to whom a Church funeral could not be granted without public scandal to the faithful (cf. Canon 1184.1.1–3).

So does the Catholic Church give funeral rites to:

Murderers?
People, who commit suicide?
Mass Murderers?
Rapists?
Murdering Gangsters - Mob Leaders?
Pedophiles?
Gay Porno makers?

Who will bury the bad?

As Nick Cave asks – who will bury black Paul

Suicide

The church teachers it is objectionably and gravely wrong but recognises conditions. The church has a matrix of the conditions.

“We no longer specifically name suicide as a reason to deny a Catholic funeral. Instead, a more generally worded ruling prevails: A funeral may be denied if its celebration would cause public scandal to the faithful; a bishop makes the final judgment. In many pastoral situations, the denial of a funeral might cause a scandal to the faithful.”read more

Academic Comment.
Maureen Tilley, an associate professor of religious studies at the University of Dayton
- "It's not necessarily a judgment on people's souls; it's a judgment on how their action impacted public order within the church," Tilley said. "If the church buried him, it would somehow be seen that the church approved of his business activities." read more

The Church as an organisation makes judgments on crimes against society on the basis of the impact of the crime on itself.

If the Church thinks that a sanctified funeral does make statements of approval what can society gain on the decision of disapprove?

It seems that pro-abortionists, pro-euthanasia, and gay porno makers impact the church image.

Mass murderers, Family Killers, Priest Paedophiles, Gangsters, and Mob Leaders have a smaller impact on the church image.

If compassion and forgiveness are the key consideration perhaps the Catholics should remove keywords like sanctity and sacred.
