There is a narrow access road running down the middle of my Pennsylvania hometown cemetery, separating the Catholic “St. Mary’s Cemetery” from the Protestant “Freeport Cemetery.”  Separate cemeteries for Roman Catholics are common for a number of historical reasons; but this side-by-side arrangement, in a town small enough for most people to have known numerous deceased on both sides of the road, gives the division of Christian denominations a very personal and tangible power. The different destinations of the bodies of Protestants and Catholics in Freeport is a suggestive metaphor for religious prejudices that proclaim that the souls of the dead also head in different directions depending on whether they spent their lives in the “true” church or in heresy (truth being very much dependent on who is proclaiming).  With today’s increasing secularism, mobility, and the scattering of ashes, my hometown’s little asphalt demilitarized zone may seem like a quaint remnant
