Having read the account, I see no evidence whatsoever that he worshipped any relics. He did behave with principle and was vindicated in the courts, the venue our society has established to decide these matters.

I have observed many relics in the churches here in Bavaria, grizzly collections of bones and skulls. Shall I inform the locals that they are worshipping "relics?"

Maybe we should let this man have his principles, and another his faith. Maybe we should feel a bit of gratitude that this man has won a small battle against the thought police on our behalf.

Talk about your relics of the past.

I'm sure the money wasn't the issue. The man has a right to his beliefs and that's what he stood up for. You can't put a price tag on that. You make a good point. I applaude his courage and conviction.
