What Happens After You Die?

ASCENSION
About this episode

Do you know what happens after you die? What does the Church tell us about what will occur after our death? Dave VanVickle and Michael Gormley take up these questions and explain the Church’s teachings. They explain how judgment works and why it is so important for those on earth to do penance for the dead.

Snippet from the Show
“Death proves also that life has meaning, because it reveals that the virtues and goodness practiced within time do not find their completion except in eternity.” -Ven. Fulton Sheen
