His real heart, his blood pump!!! This is sick! I saw Mary Madelaine's toe in a church in France and I can forgive that but this is NOW and this is SICK!

There is an excellent book titled the "Incorruptibles" that outline several saints whose bodies are intact and on display in churches throughout Europe.

This is from memory so the actual details are fuzzy but one is a female Saint sitting in a chair with absolutely no sign of decomposition since the 13th-14th century.....skin still soft... Reportedly, on occasions her eyelids open stay that way for several days then close....

I'll find the book and look the direct reference but the topic is fascinating.

Body parts of saints have been shipped around the world by the catholic church for years.....One saints finger with a ring was sent to my kids school several years ago here in Georgia. (Catholic school of course)It was not an incorruptable though....

Fascinating subject...
