Can the dead hear us

Father Luis Eduardo Jaimes Toro explains that the Catholic Church teaches the soul continues to live after the body dies. The priest and apologist notes that while the body returns to the earth, the spirit returns to God.

Father Jaimes Toro cites the Gospel of John to support the belief that those who believe in Christ will live even after death. He states that because the soul remains alive, the Church believes the saints are still living.
