So I heard the Pope's sermon on cremation and resurrection. He stated cremation was fine, but it was important to respect the body, to not let finances be the sole reason for the decision, not to disburse ashes to the sea, ground or wind, not to keep remains in the home on a shelf, not to make jewelry out of the remains and not to divide cremains among mourners like souvenirs. He said he body should remain intact and be interred in a holy place even as ashes. BUT, the Catholic Church depends on relics, that is pieces of Saints bones, skin, hair, blood and entire corpses to sanctify churches and to display as miraculous proof of God's hand in the world. Hey, Leo, time to look in your own back yard... again. Ghoulish
