I'm beginning to notice Catholics are better HP readers than most of us Protestants...except for that exorcist guy who keeps coming up in the news. Anyway, obviously, the "Presbyteer" is not a Catholic. Catholic eschatology fascinates me, but I'm woefully ignorant of many of its tenets. Should have remembered I have a lot of Catholic readers.

And I'm wondering about the one (St. Lucy?) who got her eyes plucked out. She's usually depicted walking around with her eyes on a platter. Anyway, it would probably take something other than death to get rid of Harry's scar. According to traditional eschatology, that is. If it were just a regular scar from falling off a bike, it would go away, but that scar is a special wound of love, even if it was his mother's love and not his own...

From New Advent: He is pictured in art with the gridiron on which he is supposed to have been roasted to death. Poor St. Lawrence.

So the martyrs would have the marks of their martyrdom, for example. And those who received stigmata (Saint Francis?) would have them in heaven. It made for a hilarious detour into eschatology in my RCIA group, in which we determined that mothers would have stretch marks in heaven. It's a lot of fun being Catholic.
