An anti-catholic friend asked me "Does the Catholic Church allow cremation? Sighting Amos 2:1 As proof that the Bible forbids cremation.
I replied the Church has changed heer stand oncremation…
They commented “How can the Church 'change it’s mind”
Is there any "Biblical basis I can give them for the Church’s stand on cremation? They are pretty much ‘sola scriptura’ people .
thank you for your help.
