“Can I Pray For An Old Friend Who Died Of Drug Overdose?” — REPLY: No, because...
Died Of Drug Overdose
The Most Misunderstood Catholic Decree – Council Of Trent, Sess. 6, Chap. 4
Hello, Brothers. This video was excellent, as always, thank you. I have recently heard of an old former friend of mine that passed away. They had overdosed on a drug. This was a lifelong problem for them. Finding this out about them caused our friendship to drift apart. However, upon hearing this news, my heart is saddened. Is it okay to pray for them and to ask for God's mercy regarding their life and death? I've searched around for a clear answer, but I can't seem to find anyone I can trust. Can you give me the correct answer regarding true Catholic theology? Thank you, brothers. God bless you all.

What you describe is sad. However, a Catholic is not permitted to pray for the person you described because he died in a clear state of grave sin. Catholics are not permitted to pray for those who die outside the Church or in a state of grave sin. For Catholic teaching on that matter, see this: https://endtimes.video/five-popes-gregory/
