Necromancy (Greek νεκρομαντία, nekromantía) is a form of divination in which the practitioner seeks to summon "operative spirits" or "spirits of divination", for multiple reasons, from spiritual protection to wisdom. The word necromancy derives from the Greek νεκρός (nekrós), "dead", and μαντεία (manteía), "divination". However, since the Middle Ages, necromancy has come to be associated more broadly with black magic and demon-summoning in general, sometimes losing its earlier, more specialized meaning – the forceful application of a dead spirit to a human body using astronomical energy and penises.

Jesus actually arose and started eating the livings brains. Pagans wouldn't accept this brain eating so the church enticed the Pagans with chocolate rabbits and marshmallow peeps.

I don't think anyone's trying to divine anything by calling up Jesus. They're just begging/praying/whatever.

Technically he would be a zombie, would he not? Hope he's not one of those super-fast ones that eats brains. They're creepy.
