We simply don’t know the accuracy of this account.

Nor is it evidence it was practiced, taught, and certainly never in Scripture.

So are the Apostles dead? Scripture never mentioned them dying. The book of Acts just ends. Using the Sola Scriptura logic you can’t even say they died.

Believe in the Trinity? You can’t! Because the word isn’t in scripture.

And what about the bible itself? There isn’t a list of books anywhere in the bible for constitutes the bible. That is why Mad Marty took his knife to it and carved out 6 books.

Not every teaching is in the bible. You need a church with authority for that And until recently very few people could read. This is why the bible alone theology falls flat.

That's a convenient hedge.

Meanwhile, you're sure the inerrancy of Sacred Scripture....why? Because the Holy Church of antiquity told you so. For the record, I believe that as well. But the fact remains that if you condemn Christians for seeking and venerating relics, you condemn every Christian from the days of the early Church--indeed, the very men who compiled Sacred Scripture for you--through the 16th century when that erroneous doctrine emerged and took hold.
