The Detestable and Abominable Practice of Cremation

About this sermon

During this month of November, we remember the dead…those who have gone before us. Our dearest Lord teaches us to be merciful towards the bodies of the living and the deceased. We are to give relief to those with bodily needs. We are to feed the hungry…give drink to the thirsty…visit the sick and imprisoned…to clothe the naked and shelter the homeless… and yes we are to bury the bodies of the dead properly. In an age where abortion is quote on quote, legal…in an age where the terminally ill are “legally” euthanized…in an age where the body becomes a recreational vehicle to abuse and use for the purpose of pleasure and sensual delights…it is not surprising that the bodies of the dead are disrespected. Those who commit crimes against living bodies will commit crimes or show disrespect towards the bodies of the dead. In times past, it was rare that cemeteries were vandalized. But in this modern age monuments being overturned or even broken is far more common. Furthermore, graveyards have been the scene of various drunken feasts. In addition, sacred relics…the very remains of the saints are being sold on Ebay, thrown into attics to collect dust, or even disposed of in the garbage. And then there is the very untraditional and unChristian practice of cremation, where the corpse is violently destroyed with fire as the pagans did in ancient times and still do in pagan, Hindu countries like India. In the past, Holy Church called the practice of indiscriminate cremation both detestable and abominable, and heavy penalties were imposed on both those who were cremated and those who carried through this request, forbidding them Christian burial and the Sacraments...but how things have changed today.
