===The resurrection body=== The Gospel authors wrote that our resurrection bodies will be different from those we have now. Jesus said, "In the resurrection, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels of God in heaven" [Mt 22:30]. Paul adds, "So also is the resurrection of the dead: the body{{nbsp}}... is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body" [1 Co. 15:42β44]. According to the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]] the body after resurrection is changed into a spiritual, imperishable body: {{blockquote|[999] Christ is raised with his own body: "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself" [553]; but he did not return to an earthly life. So, in him, "all of them will rise again with their own bodies which they now bear", but Christ "will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body", into a "spiritual body" [554]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p123a11.htm|title=CCC β Part 1 Section 2 Chapter 3 Article 11|website=www.vatican.va}}</ref>}} Both the righteous and the wicked will rise with immortal bodies. However, only the righteous will rise with four endowments: impassibility (incorruptibility), subtility (spirituality), agility (power), and clarity (glory).<ref>''The Catholic Catechism'' by Father [[John A. Hardon]], p. 265</ref> In some ancient traditions, it was held that the person would be resurrected at the same spot where they died and were buried (just as in the case of Jesus' resurrection). For example, in the early medieval biography of [[St Columba]] written by [[Adomnan of Iona]], Columba at one point prophesies to a penitent at the monastery on [[Iona]] that his resurrection would be in Ireland and not in Iona, and this penitent later died at a monastery in Ireland and was buried there.<ref>Adomnan of Iona. ''Life of St Columba''. Penguin Books, 1995, p. 193 {{ISBN?}}</ref>
