zunshynn Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Considering the Catholic position regarding respect for the dead, is it immoral to attend exhibits with mummies, etc. What about archaeologists examining them? Such examinations are not, after all, in pursuit of justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 What is wrong with the scientific pursuit of knowledge as long as you show respect for the individual remains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p0lar_bear Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well, if you can't go see human bodies (or body parts) on display, you couldn't go to very many churches in Europe...body parts everywhere ...Catholics are so weird that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robguitar Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I think it's ok, especially from a scientific standpoint. You're learning about the history of other cultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
