text: This latest document "Ad resurgendum cum Christo" is far more financial than doctrinal.  It appears designed to keep Catholic cemeteries (especially small ones) solvent and in business for the long run.  Ironically, the document neatly fits into a niche next to now-Cardinal Dolan's Cemetery Trust Fund which he set up in Milwaukee to keep from paying judgments to sex abuse victims, the Archdiocese of Newark's scam of "leasing" headstones to individuals, couples and families, and now moving Archbishop Sheen's body out of St. Patrick's in New York back to his home diocese (Peoria) in time for his projected canonization.  
  
  Fprtunately, these new "regulations" do not bind funeral directors (even Catholic funeral directors).  But it does muddy the waters that used to run clear.
