The Reality of "Incorruptibility"
• Not a Canonization Requirement: Sainthood is based on heroic virtue, a life of holiness, and verified miracles attributed to the person's intercession—never the physical state of their body after death.
• Not Always Miraculous: Modern science and the Church note that many bodies resist normal decay due to natural factors like dry climates, airtight tombs, soil chemistry, or past medical treatments. Other times, parts are artificially preserved with wax, oils, or silicone reconstructions for public veneration.
