there is no claims to supernatural powers surrounding the Chalice of Valencia. It's just a stone cup with a pretty base that Jesus happened to drink out of.

And that's just as He would have wanted it.

How do you know?

The bible records the fact that God has attached miracles to relics of the saints, and even objects that saints touched.

Acts 19:11-12

God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.

Oh please! You completely misunderstand what the point is in the verse. IT IS that the anointing on Paul was so great, that even objects he touched carried it. IT IS NOT supposed to mean that those objects be set up as some type of idols, something that is roundly condemned all throughout scripture.

So you build a huge edifice on one verse in which you don't understanding the meaning of. Typical.
