The Roman Catholic Church has updated a centuries-old document on how to deal with death, turning it into an online resource. 'Ars Moriendi' - or The Art of Dying - dates back to medieval times and was originally penned in Latin. Eamon Duffy is Emeritus Professor of the History of Christianity at Cambridge University. He told Dan Damon about the project which he as helped develop. (Photo: The Art of Dying Website Credit: The Art of Dying)
