Answer 2

properly it would not have something to do with the resurrection of the lifeless, it is believed that whether the remains are scattered they are going to reunite earlier the resurrection of the lifeless. The early Christians had continually preserved the bodies after demise particularly the bodies of the Saints. the explanation why is by way of the fact the physique is consecrated via the Sacraments of the Church as a result it remains holy even after demise that's why Christians buried their lifeless quite of cremating them. the different factor to mutilate a physique or grave is burial desecration that's a mortal sin. the different factor is that if a individual grew to become right into a properly-known heretic or in situations of suicides a Bishop would desire to deny that distinctive a Christian burial which may well be the comparable as being excommunicated from the Church.

Answer 3

I have not heard of such a thing. But it sounds like you're trying to persuade people into believing that monks practice infanticide or abortions.

But the presence of "dead babies" does not necessarily prove any particular activity. Monastries may serve the religious needs of hospitals, orphanages, or as places where the dead are memorialized. In all those cases, there may be dead babies buried on the monastery grounds for legitimate reasons.

Additionally, claims of "dead babies" might be folklore or rumor. It seems that if a monastary needed to hide bodies, there would be easier ways to dispose of them- cremation, for example.

There is some discussion of this here:
http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=25;t=001180;p=0

Other nuns were forced to take birth control pills, according to the report cited in the Rome daily newspaper la Repubblica.

The Vatican said the issue was restricted to a certain geographical area, but the report cited cases in 23 countries, including the United States, Brazil, the Philippines, India, Ireland and Italy."
