It is not uncommon that
non-believers see the Catholic
devotion to the Saints and the
dead in general as falling under
the prohibition of necrology as
found in the Hebrew Scriptures.
These people are not aware of
the New Life of the Christian
who has been called out of this
life. They are nor dead, but alive!
Romans 6:3-4
Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were
indeed buried with him through baptism into death,
so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, we too might live in newness
of life.
Colossians 2:12
You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were
also raised with him through faith in the power of God,
who raised him from the dead.
