Scattering Ashes is not on Catholics

Quote:

The ashes of cremated Catholics must be buried and should not be scattered on land, at sea or be kept at home, the Vatican has announced in new guidelines. ......... "It is not permitted to scatter the ashes of the faithful departed in the air, on land, at sea or in some other way, nor may they be preserved in mementos, pieces of jewellery or other objects," it said.

One has to wonder why the Vatican has to weigh in on stuff like this. Haven't they got enough to do?

Is this to do with the bodies rising from the grave thing maybe.
