The catholic church has bargain basements chocked full of junk they claim as "Holy"....and scads of it so called "discovered" every day to attract and deceive it's members with.

From bones and body parts of corpses they've dismembered which people bow and kneel before....to everything one's imagination can devise.....a lot of hocus pocus and drum beating around dead corses and dead objects related to them...

Christians serve a Risen Christ ... our Savior and coming King of all Kings....not dead bodies and creepy relics from the dark ages

The supposed foreskin of catholics Jesus

I notice that you haven't presented a single fact "debunking" the Shroud of Turin, and I don't expect you to come up with a valid argument anytime soon.

For anyone interested in investigating the science behind the Shroud, I recommend this Shroud web site.

Regarding "creepy" relics...

When my father died, I kissed his dead body.

Was that wrong? Was I worshiping him?

Was his body "junk"? At what point would it become junk?

Were Elisha's bones junk?

Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb. When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.

Regardless of our feelings about "creepiness" and "yuckiness," God sometimes chooses to associate the remains of holy people with miracles.
