You just couldn't help yourself, could you. You just had to go and make anti-Catholic remarks on this thread.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

No call at all for the sanctimoniousness.

I didn’t see (Catholic Caucus) in the thread title, so ALL views are welcome on this one.

Seriously. I also read they think there is 3 pieces of the true cross up there. These phony relics are one of the reasons for the reformation. It’s a tragic loss of an historic building though

You should be ashamed of yourself. So why is doubting the authenticity of a relic necessarily anti-Catholic, while do you really think that we would not have many snide remarks from Catholics if the news was that of church related to Luther burning down? You mean you just couldn't help yourself, but just had to go and make a aniti-anti-Catholic remarks on this thread? Seems like a knee-jerk reaction by one of a class of RCs who cannot tolerate whatever seems to slight their earthly object of devotion in the slightest.

There are thousands of claimed relics associated with_Jesus , from thirty Holy Nails that were venerated as relics across Europe in the early 20th century to the "Holy Foreskin of Jesus," and while only relics that have been certified as authentic can be exposed for veneration by the faithful (I do not know if the wood in ND was), yet the means of determining this are far from sure.

But if you insist that these pieces of wood (22 more are in a church in PA) are authentic pieces from the cross of Christ because Rome said they are, then you have made this thread about the veracity of Rome. And thus you should be ashamed of yourself .
