Basilicas, bones, corpse, crypts, and tombs


From Keith,
To the Congregation.
Mark 6:31 Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.

This entry will be intentionally brief. Still it has struck a raw nerve. Of course we are in the land of the Papacy. There have been 265 Popes according to the records of the Catholic church and they all had to buried somewhere. Well that is what leads me to write. 

I have seen enough crypts, corpses, tombs, and bones to last me a very long time. As we walked through St Peter's Basilica there are 91 popes buried. I see people praying before them, crying upon them, and leaving candles or money around them.

I have to tell you. As far as I am concerned, the only tomb I would ever kneel at is an empty one!

2 Corinthians 4:14
...Because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.
