Why shouldn't Christ be able to rise from the dead? Of course, when I myself determine what is allowed to exist and what isn't, then of course phenomena like these have to be excluded. It is an act of intellectual arrogance for us to declare that they are internally contradictory or absurd and, for that reason alone, impossible. But it is not our business to decide how many possibilities are latent in the cosmos, how many possibilities are hidden above and in it...--Pope Benedict XVI in Peter Seewald's Light of the World, pg. 168.
