Question for Catholics
Isn't it against the teachings of Catholicism to spread ashes? I thought ashes could only be buried in consecrated ground, yet Sheen spreads his son's ashes throughout the pilgrimage.
shareThe Catholic Church apparently thinks spreading ashes or keeping them in your home in an urn isn't reverent. I an a fallen away Catholic, both my parents were cremated and interred on their parish grounds, but you must remember that most of these rules are man-made. It is the Church's position, but I say if you want to talk to mom and dad in front of the fireplace, who in the heck are they to say you can't. After all the wrong the Church has done, I am not shaking in my boots about breaking a rule here or there.
"If I were any closer to you, I'd be in back of you"
Church has set up many man-made rules which supposedly take you closer to salvation (thought I think they are strategically planned its own interest). But Catholicism also preaches repentance, forgivenness and not being judgemental. Which means that if you do not follow their rules, only God will judge you and nobody can tell how he will judge you. I believe that being faithfull to your instinct makes this world a better place.

sharemost of these rules are man-madeThey all are.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. share
