The Disposability of Human Life & Human Remains in Today's Society | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The CEO of Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services recently weighed in on the disposability of human life and human remains in today's society. Writing in Our Sunday Visitor, Robert Seelig said in part "The business of burying the dead, along with humanity's desire to be remembered respectfully, is a complex combination of anthropology, real estate, finances, ecological issues and spiritual mysteries. Living in this age of disposability, the Church's wisdom offers a thoughtful path for our respectful remembrance..." The author of that piece, Seelig, joins us to tell us more about why he decided to write his opinion piece. Seelig reminds us what the Church says about cremation and how it should be handled by Catholics. He explains where he sees all this going. Seelig fills us in on just how much or little space remain in cemeteries for Catholic traditional burials in a casket. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
