"In my hometown, dismantling a corpse into parts and scattering them after death is considered extremely inauspicious, even akin to a severe punishment."
This is why Ethan spent the entire afternoon poring over the Holy Scripture of the Church Court. "This book mentions that it was a request from the Goddess of Life herself, carried out by the Pope she personally chose at the time."
Of course, regarding the fall of the Goddess of Life, there has been much artistic embellishment in the Scripture, such as defining this ritual as a "relic" similar to that of a Knight Lord, asserting that the goddess is merely in a temporary slumber, waiting for some crucial moment in the future to return to their side.
The Scripture does not mention the burial site of the remains, and the first Pope kept this secret to his grave.
In the tradition of the Life Divine Teachings, there has never been a tradition of a Pope or other Saints being divided and buried after death either.
