I don't think the Cathedral was deceived. They just reacted to the uproar from some Catholics by saying they were deceived. I scrolled through the video of the funeral and didn't see anyone scantily clad or baring their butts and any references to "whores" that I saw were in Spanish and wouldn't be understood unless you knew Spanish. There was a man dressed as a woman giving one of the eulogies but the Church seems ok with that concept and wouldn't ban a transgender person from entering. The problem happened when the funeral got a lot of media coverage as if St. Patrick's Cathedral was promoting transgender activism so they condemned it in statements.
Am not believing a word of it regarding deception either.
Cardinal Dolan has been very pro LGBT on many issues for decades now.
His Eminence leaned hard on the Hibernians forcing them to drop their ban on LGBT marching in St. Patrick's day parade under their own banner. Several parishes under Dolan's jurisdiction such as St. Francis Xavier in Chelsea, Church of St. Paul the Apostle, in midtown and St. Ignatius Loyola on the Upper East Side among others are openly pro LGBT.
Now knew what and when they knew it likely are questions that never will get a straight answer.
For now there is enough furore that the Church obviously feels it must act.
When you consider the Church has allowed funerals for Mafia types (including full masses) who in their lifetimes killed, were whoremasters, and otherwise pretty much repeatedly committed mortal sins, one for a trans seems like small beer.

Don't forget theWest Side Bugsy.
It's one thing for a guy to commit crime for some beer nuts.
It's another for a guy who thinks he's a gal to be committed because their just plain nuts.

Pushing religion in 2024 is funny. Trans mental train wreck is funny too. Put them together and its like watching a 2 hour train wreck.
Transgender religion is the epitome of a compelled belief system, a disguised modern version of the early days of Islam's adoption under duress.
Catholicism does not force it's beliefs on anyone.
P.S. I am a female homosexual atheist but even I have a dog in this fight. Because transgenderism is, at the core, misogyny and homophobia in drag.
And it ain't funny.

Not disagreeing, but can you explain how?
