I saw a show the other day that dealt with the uncorruptibles and I was wondering if anyone had any additional information concerning them and the relevance with regards to sainthood. Thanks!

The Uncorruptibles...

hehe sorry about that. I suppose I should have explained it before asking for clarification on it. Basically, from my understanding, the uncorruptibles are saints whose bodies did not degrade after they died. hence the name the uncorruptibles. Apparently at one point it was a prerequisite to sainthood.

"Holy Relics
And by His most wise and good Will, God creates miracles in and through these relics. Moreover, the miracles which derive from the Holy relics witness also to the fact that their pious veneration by the people is pleasing to God."
These were people so close to God, that they aquired the Holy Spirit both in their hearts and in their bodies, physically. This is why their bodies preserve the way they do, and also smelling chrism and healing the sick. [...] The relics of the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Obadiah, Zachariah and several of the apostles remained incorrupt. The relics of the Holy Prophet Elisha, as we see from the Fourth Book of Kings, were preserved as bones. By piously venerating the Holy relics of the Saints, the Church reveres them as temples of the Holy Spirit, temples of the Living God, in which God dwells by Grace even after the earthly death of the Saints.
And by His most wise and good Will, God creates miracles in and through these relics. Moreover, the miracles which derive from the Holy relics witness also to the fact that their pious veneration by the people is pleasing to God."

I've heard of them in primary school, I believed it at that time, but when I think about it these days, I neglect it as being a myth.
Now that it's been resurrected again, could someone give like a full definition of what an incorruptible is?
Like I mean, surely there'd be some sort of bacteria decomposing it as we speak unless they're alive and the immune system is kicking in, yet they're brain dead?
I'm highly interested....

It can't be a myth if there are specific, real-life examples of them. There are.Icystwolf said:

Brain dead for hundreds of years? Probably not. No, these people are dead, and have been for a very long time. Their bodies have not decomposed.Icystwolf said:
