To believe that God can reconstitute someone who has made an ash of himself, but not if the guy's ash is in more than one place, is...is... |

Just think of all that carbon dioxide that you turn into when you snuff it, quickly if you're cremated and slowly if you just moulder. You'll get everywhere. Get real, Pope Franny! |

I wouldn't mind just a whiff of breeze to get some of them airborne. It's my very favourite spot in the whole world with one of the best views of cliffs and sea I know. |

28 Oct 16 - 04:28 AM (#3816884) Subject: RE: BS: Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket, but From: Doug Chadwick From my reading of it, the Pope is not so much worried about the ashes themselves, but rather the motivation of those doing the scattering. If your loved one's ashes are sitting are sitting on the mantelpiece, there is no need to visit the churchyard. If you hold a little ceremony to scatter your loved one in the woods, could the next step be holding the wood sacred leading to worship of woodland spirits? If people get solace and comfort from sending ashes all over the world, will they still feel the need to turn to the Mother Church? If sending ashes into the solar system becomes popular then Rome becomes less the centre of the universe. The Pope is worried about pantheism. He would prefer to have the ashes kept in cemeteries or churches where he has influence and control. DC |

Something I regret I didn't think of when mother died. Just saying - a nice concept to put in place when considering what to do with peoples' ashes. |

29 Oct 16 - 07:08 AM (#3817019) Subject: RE: BS: Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket, but From: banjoman As a catholic for more than 70 years, I have long since taken the view that the old men in the Vatican have so little experience of life that much of what they say has to be personal opinion and little to do with faith in Jesus Christ who would be laughing in his grave (if he had one) As for me - I have always wanted to be buried at sea so certain people who have threatened to dance on my grave could finally fulfil their wish. Otherwise, if cremated then scatter my ashes around Anfield Football Stadium which has already been used for such purposes on numerous occasions. (Hillsborough) |
