------------------------------------------------------------------

In Danger of Death Despite the prevalence of the threat of death, and massive measures to prevent it, modern secular man does not like to dwell on his own death.
The truth about death, resurrection, and the afterlife is explained in detail in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and in the theological treatise on the Last Things: death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell. Here one will find the best and most satisfying answers that have ever been given to the riddles of life and death. It is the best and most satisfying because it is true. God Himself, who is infinite truth and goodness, has revealed it to us, and His one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church proclaims it in the power of the Holy Spirit to the ends of the earth.
