  With the eminent confirmation or disproof of the existence of Higgs boson by
experiments on the LHC it is time to analyze in a non-dogmatic way the
suggestions to understand the origin of the mass. Here we analyze the recent
proposal according to which gravity is what is really responsible for the
generation of mass of all bodies. The great novelty of such mechanism is that
the gravitational field acts merely as a catalyst, once the final expression of
the mass does not depend either on the intensity or on the particular
characteristics of the gravitational field.
