In my view this post/thread is neither Catholic Caucaus or “bait.” This is a thread that brings up a topic that is generic “Christian” in nature rather than Protestant or Catholic.
NDEs have been experienced by Protestants, Catholics and many with no faith what so ever. thus this discussion is based upon Msgr Pope’s comments. See my post # 11, also posts #27 and #30.
I knew a Japanese man who had an NDE during heart surgery.
There were interesting similarities and differences, in comparison to a Westerner’s experiences.
