What do Catholics believe about Death?
• For Christians, death is a transition to a new phase of life
• Death is not something to fear, because it is the start of eternal life without the limitations of the earthly body
• While the body dies, the soul continues to live on
• The soul is judged by God and sent to heaven or hell (Catholics believe souls might also be sent to purgatory)
• At the end of time, at the final judgement, the body and soul will be reunited in a perfect form
