    Someone I know really well who goes to a Vatican 2 church and has a prayer group with Vatican 2 Catholics and Protestants, said he and his prayer group believes people will be raised from the dead and it will cause a great revival.

    Below are some of the responses I gave him.

    All Protestants go to hell.
    Nobody gets a second chance after they die.
    A true revival is when people become Catholic to work out their salvation with fear and trembling in hopes of saving their soul.
    If someone really believes in Jesus, they believe the teachings of the Catholic Church since Christ revealed through the Catholic Church all we must believe.


    I'm somewhat confused now because I've recently completed a reading of part 1 of the Catechism of the Council of Trent.  In it, a large section is devoted to the discussion of "the resurrection of the body".  My understanding of that 12 page section of the catechism was that all human bodies will be restored and souls reunited with those bodies.

    If belief that people will be raised from the dead is heresy, then what are we supposed to make of "the resurrection of the body", when we say it during the Apostles' Creed?

  • Matthew 27:52-53

    At the time Christ died, the veil was rent in two and...

    "(52)And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,
    (53)And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.

    There is the 3 day gap between the bodies rising from the grave (at His death) and going into the holy city (at His resurrection).  Does anyone know what the church teaches about this event?  

    The appearance of dead people in the city certainly must have created a stir to say the least.
