What a sensation it would cause if we were to read one day in the newspapers that the remedy for death was discovered. Ever since man has been on this earth, he has been looking for this remedy.... Yet the Church proclaims that this remedy has in fact been found. Death has been overcome - Jesus Christ has risen and will die no more.... Victory is with the Son, the living Christ. The more perfectly we follow his way, the more complete will be the victory in this world of his saving power over death
--Pope Benedict XVI,
