The Church does not claim that ALL those who lived saintly lives will be incorruptible. It only happens to a few, apparently at God's discretion.
"This seems like a varient of Necromancy King Saul got in trouble for this..."
Necromancy is when someone tries to contact the dead to gain information from them. That is what Saul did. A saint's body found to be be incorruptible is nothing like necromancy.
Really? Other than the prophecies of Jesus' body not seeing corruption and him not being left in death, where is that written in the Bible? I would like to know.
Ok, I see
But this body seems to be quite corruptible
except through a preservative process
an embalmer would love (I've known many)
And maintaining a illusion of Incorruptibility for the Laity
Is seriously bizarre

What’s described in this article is more like Necrophilia.
But according to the practices called out in the article, the church doesn't wait for God's discretion before they start soaking and shellacking and wax-coating their deceased. I'm honestly surprised that Tupperware didn't rate a mention. It works on almost anything!
HMMMmmm...

Dear friends, we are already God's children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him...
