<P> Incorruptibility is a Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox belief that divine intervention allows some human bodies (specifically saints and beati) to avoid the normal process of decomposition after death as a sign of their holiness . Bodies that undergo little or no decomposition, or delayed decomposition, are sometimes referred to as incorrupt or incorruptible . </P> <P> Incorruptibility is thought to occur even in the presence of factors which normally hasten decomposition, as in the cases of saints Catherine of Genoa, Julie Billiart and Francis Xavier . </P> <P> In Roman Catholicism, if a body is judged as incorruptible after death, this is generally seen as a sign that the individual is a saint . Canon law allows inspection of the body so that relics can be taken and sent to Rome . The relics must be sealed with wax and the body must be replaced after inspection . These ritual inspections are performed very rarely and can only be performed by a bishop respecting canon law . A pontifical commission can authorize inspection of the relics and demand a written report . After solemn inspection of the relics, it can be decided that the body is presented in an open reliquary and displayed for veneration . Catholic law allows saints to be buried under the altar, so Mass can be celebrated above the corpse . </P> <P> The relics of Saint Bernadette were inspected multiple times, and reports by the church tribunal confirmed that the body was preserved . The opening of the reliquary was attended by multiple canons, the mayor and the bishop in 1919, and repeated in 1925 . </P>
