Is Resurrection For All?

Will everybody experience resurrection? No, if you take at face value what you hear in this Sunday’s first reading: But for you there will be no resurrection to life! (2 Macc 7.14). The ‘you’ is a despotic king and his sadistic torturers. One suspects the list could easily be lengthened.

Again at face value, today’s gospel reading reinforces this view: those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead … (Lk 20:35). The implication is clear: some won’t be considered worthy of resurrection. So, what happens those?

Basing its views on Jn 5:28-29 the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: ‘All the dead will rise, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgement.’ (Par 998).

We describe death as the separation of soul and body- not knowing really what either is. The body decomposes conveniently, but what about the soul? Where is it until it rises with its glorified body? Why does it need one? Do those who ‘rise’ to judgement also have one? If not what do they have?

Silly questions? Maybe. But allow me one more: what’s the difference between unquestioned faith and fundamentalism?

Over to you!
