Article 11 “I BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY”

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

991
Belief in the resurrection of the dead has been an essential element of the
Christian faith from its beginnings. “The confidence of Christians is the
resurrection of the dead; believing this we live.”⁵³⁶
How can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there
is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; if Christ has
not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain….
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who
have fallen asleep.⁵³⁷
