Modernity treats the human physique just about as a machine for the
manufacturing of delight. It’s tuned up, fueled, and oiled for peak
efficiency, after which when it’s now not of use, it’s burnt and
disposed of in a maximally environment friendly method.
Paradoxically, the denial of a soul which persists after bodily
demise has led us to disclaim the physique itself as basic to human
id. The allegedly soulless fashionable has much less hope of
resurrection than the Saducees ever did. We in some way concern demise extra
but by no means have interaction with the truth of demise.
Scott Hahn joins the present to speak about how the incarnation,
demise and resurrection of the Son of God modified how our
civilization seen the physique, demise and the afterlife.
Sadly, even Catholics in the present day deal with lifeless our bodies in a manner that
doesn’t convey this actuality. But how we strategy demise & burial
has the potential to indicate the Catholic distinction and evangelize
our tradition.
