Then there was another camp that immediately set out to prove that this ossuary was a forgery and a fake. Interesting how all of those people were either atheists or catholics.
We Catholics DO have artifacts. Several. All have been around for centuries. None are proven absolutely conclusively, as far as I know. We argue over the Shroud. The Crown of Thorns (Notre Dame, Paris) has been questioned. Even the original Cross, which was found, we believe... All of which were known to exist long ago. This burial box appeared out of nowhere.
What I've seen questioned by non-RCs isn't faith, but the Blessed Mother's virginity and her relationship with Joseph.

I have done a lot of research on relics and found it to be quite fascinating.
