Excerpt -
ROME (AP) - Vatican archaeologists have unearthed a sarcophagus believed to contain the remains of the Apostle Paul that had been buried beneath Rome's second largest basilica. The sarcophagus, which dates back to at least A.D. 390, has been the subject of an extended excavation that began in 2002 and was completed last month, the project's head said this week.

Let him lie in peace. His work on this earth is done.
I fear some will pay more attention to his (putative) remains than to his words which speak to us down through the millenia. We won't find "the Truth" poking around his bones.

390 A.D.?
That is about 300 years after the fact of Pauls demise.....

Agree totally. Paul, himself, would have been disgusted (i.e., Less of me, more of Christ).
To: Monkey King
Paul himself would be horrified at the thought that some would 'exult' his remains. At least thats what he wrote.
To: Monkey King
Nicely stated. Put up a plaque and let him rest.

If you believe Jesus is God, you really shouldn't disrespect His mother, Mary.

Believing that Mary decomposed isn't disrespecting her.
Her physical body doesn't matter. Her spirit is in Heaven...the part that counts.

No...not true.
Our bodies decay in the grave. That's just a fact.
Heavenly bodies are different as Paul says in Corinthians.
To: what's up
Our bodies decay in the grave. That's just a fact.
How about those that were cremated

You think the cremated wouldn't have decayed in the grave? Ashes, decay...all to dust.
To: what's up
Do you believe in the resurrection of the dead?

Yes, and those bodies will be different (again as Paul says in Corinthians)...heavenly ones.
To: mountn man
According to Catholic teaching, Mary's body was assumed into Heaven upon her death.
