>>Ephesus, for one.<<

Says who and what's their source proof? Wait....I think I found it.

"The house was discovered in the 19th century by following the descriptions in the reported visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774–1824)"

On, and there is this. "The Catholic Church has never pronounced in favour or against the authenticity of the house."

Well there you have it. The concrete evidence!!! Right?

Nothing I’ve said depends on the genuineness of any claims about relics or houses or clothing of Mary.

My argument has NOTHING TO DO with the existence of any such secondary relics—real or fake.

What needs to be explained is the total absence of any CLAIMED relics of Mary’s body.

The ONLY explanation for that absence is that all potential fraudsters knew that all Christians believed, from the very beginning of Christianity, that any claimed relic of Mary’s body MUST be phony.
