No, i said ----->The early jewish/gentile messiah cult called "chrsitianity was all about the body & physical resurrection, really simple minded primitive stuff that, like that wives tale put forth of the empty tomb.
Its only stating simple fact, whether catacombs or later above ground burial, its a primary aspect of the belief, the other redeeming aspects involve simple common wisdoms such as sharing, caring & the golden rule which were around a long long time, expressions that would go all the way back to hunter gatherer groups.
Note: Rabbi Hillel, the most famed Jewish theological teacher of the same time, himself comes down from Babylon (no surprise here) ,what is partially redeeming in Christianity, is what essentially was borrowed from the pagan/pantheist.
The rest is window dressing ritual...
