Exactly. We're supposed to worship Christ, not some remnant of a human, or a remnant that may have been related to his ministry. Shroud of Turin for instance, the holy grail... Not to mention these ceaseless images of Mary that show up in bagels, pieces of bread, dog turds or wherever. Crying or bleeding statues? Sheesh.
Wow. Nasty post. And I think you know by now that Catholics do not worship relics.
You’d hate Italy: my favorite relic was the tongue of a saint I came across in either Bologna or Assisi. Long time ago but it raised even my relic-accustomed eyes.
