- Why Catholics believe in it...

- If he had life after death, his faithful followers should too.

- The Catechism is the teaching of the Magisterium which all Catholics should live by.
- It gives life purpose and meaning.
- This is because we will know that after our bodies die, our souls will live on.

- This means that our souls must not die with the body.
