Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rambler, Vol. 6: A Catholic Journal and Review of Home and Foreign Literature, Politics, Science, Music, and the Fine Arts The Protestant world is just now busied with an appropriate occupation: the dead are burying their dead. In other words, an extensive movement is in progress on the subject of the fittest manner of interring the great English nation. The Board of Health has made its long-promised report on the subject of intramural interment, and has propounded in it "a general scheme for extramural sepulture." This interesting document, one of the most important public papers that has been submitted to the country for many years, is now before us. The Government also has taken up the matter, and has already brought forward a measure on the subject. Surely, then, it is the duty of Catholics to place themselves in advance of the times, and to turn their attention to the subject of cemeteries and funerals; not merely from sanatory, but from religious considerations. While if we can compel the public to see that the Catholic Church looks upon the interment of the dead as an act of true Christian communion, and that instead of handing over the corpse of the pauper to the parish overseer to be buried by contract, she provides as decorously and as religiously for it as for that of the noble, we shall afford a fresh clue to lead all thinking men to the true Church. We remember the case of a poor person, who, seeing the corpse of a poor Catholic carried to the grave covered by a real Catholic pall, felt such a desire to have that pall and those affecting ceremonies used at her funeral, that she was led to examine into Catholic doctrine, and received the grace of God to embrace it. To shew that since the national apostacy of England, Protestantism has not been able to provide for the decent interment of the dead, we need look to the metropolis alone.
