In 1925, doctors opened a coffin and found a woman dead for 46 years whose body had not decomposed in the normal way. That case is part of a much larger Catholic claim: some saints remain incorrupt in ways that trained physicians have found difficult to explain, and the Church does not hide these cases from scrutiny. The question is whether grace can leave traces even in the body.
Scripture points in that direction. Elisha’s bones brought a dead man back to life, David prophesied that God’s holy one would not see corruption, and the New Testament applies that prophecy to Christ himself. The Church teaches that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and will be raised and transformed, which makes incorrupt saints a sign of what God can do in those most united to him.
