Summary

Is death natural or is it something we can fix as a human race? Is death a product of Original Sin? Is it a punishment? Are we MEANT to die? How can we follow Jesus' example? On this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Joseph-Anthony and Fr. Bonaventure walk us through the idea of death and how we, as Christians, can approach it.
