About this recording
What does it mean to be a saint? And what happens to the soul after death? As the Church celebrates the Solemnity of All Saints on November 1, this week's Vaticano explores the Catholic understanding of holiness, death, and eternal life.
Journey beneath the streets of Rome to discover the ancient Christian catacombs, where the first Christians buried their dead and expressed their hope in the Resurrection. Visit the Vatican's Dicastery for the Causes of Saints to learn how the Church investigates and recognizes holiness, and hear why the call to become a saint is meant for everyone.
We also meet a hospital chaplain who explains the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick and explore the Church's teaching on purgatory at Rome's Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
As Catholics prepare to celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, discover why death is not the end and why the communion of saints unites the living and the faithful departed.
