Hell, dead bodies and burial practices: What does the church say?

To get in the sPoOkY spirit, this week’s episode of Jesuitical is
getting a little macabre. Zac and Ashley are joined by Candida
Moss, a columnist for the Daily Beast and the Edward Cadbury
Professor of Theology at University of Birmingham. We talk to
Professor Moss about how the church and the culture’s understanding
of hell has changed over the centuries, what some sure signs of
demonic possession are, and why the church teaches what it does
about cremation and burial practices.  After the conversation
with Candida Moss, stick around for a special new episode of
“Voting Catholic,” which is out with a brand new season ahead of
the midterm elections. Links from the show:  The church
forbids ‘human composting’ at death. But what about ‘green’
burials? When Did Satan Go From Inmate to Warden? Why Did the
Catholic Church Ban the Spreading of Ashes? Listen to the Voting
