Perform a corporate act of mercy by burying them, not gawking at them."Bodies ... The Exhibition," opening Friday at the Cincinnati Museum Center, features 20 human cadavers, preserved by a process called polymer preservation and shown in various poses.
Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk first sent an e-mail to Catholic school administrators Friday saying that the exhibit is inappropriate for school trips, and adding that it should be up to parents to determine whether they want their children to see it.
He reiterated the point with a statement Monday, saying the church maintains that dead bodies must be treated "in a way that recognizes the dignity of the human person." [h/t: Spirit Daily]
