Q
A description of what is meant by “resurrection of the body” and how it is
different to survival of the soul.
Catholics believe that Jesus rose from the dead and left the tomb empty.
When he appeared it was a real body that appeared, not just a ghost.
They believe that what happened to Jesus will happen to all believers –
that on the last day the bodies of all those who have died in Christ will be
raised to eternal life.
