Please think to the logical conclusion before you stop thinking and begin responding. You are limiting God and His work of resurrection if you believe your "age-old doctrine".
Yes ... please do.
Before ASSuming that people believe things that they don't ... before launching on ASSinine lectures that are completely irrelevant ... before imputing false motives to other people or pretending to read their minds ...
One would be well advised to ASK an honest question or two ... and refrain from ASSuming that the answer given is deceptive.
Jus' sayin' ...
One might (gasp!) read the article. I realize that some people are incapable of reading ... but most of them are also incapable of typing on a computer based discussion forum.
Your #5 makes no sense.
The Italian bishops and Catholic doctrine do not prohibit one from being a victim of muslim terrorists and being incinerated with ashes being strewn all over.
Cremation is not prohibited. Intentionally scattering ashes afterwards is what is prohibited.
The doctrine does NOT limit God, but rather the doctrine calls us not to deliberately scatter what God has promised to make whole and new, and calls us not to sentimentally unite a person with his favorite earthly park or sea by scattering him there. Those acts fly in the face of the promises God has made about what awaits us after death.
