no need to speak in private, the adoration of relics is idolatry, people even have adorations of the HOLY FORESKIN, and that is NOT a joke
and you can guess whose it is supposed to be
From birth to death, these relics are an abomination and idolatry.
The Shroud isn’t a relic. It has been scientifically examined for decades. The man who organized and led the original scientific examination in 1978 (the “STURP” team) is a brilliant nuclear physicist...and happens to be a very close friend of mine (I’ll be seeing him tomorrow morning, as a matter of fact). He and I organized a 501(c)(3) dedicated to original scientific research on the Shroud over the past year or so.
I could literally “lecture” you on such scientific evidence for hours; my friend Tom could go on for days without ever repeating himself.
It’s no fraud, it’s no “relic”, and no one is worshiping the thing.
