[ A sarcophagus which may contain the remains of St. Paul was identified in the basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls ]

Which is important.. WHY.?.

[Grn_Lantern]

Because it means that the Catholic church actually got a Basillica in the right place for once.

No offense intended to any Catholics out there...really...a lot or them were built in the wrong place...St. Mark's in Venice was thought to be the most reliable one...so this would be a big deal.

Plus...St. Paul was just pretty cool.

Do you see no value in history at all?

I am a Protestant and dislike much of Roman Catholic theology.

But, this is dang fascinating just for the historical side.

And, if it is Paul, wow! How sweet is that?

"Which is important.. WHY.?."

It is important because it's a Christian discovery and reinforces Christian identity and Western culture, which is good, of course.

The can dig it out and have millions of people come and visit to spend money and pay homage. Or to look at an old grave of a dead guy. */scarasm off
