How will they be able to determine if the remains are indeed those of the Apostle Paul?

Our objective was to bring the remains of the tomb back to light for devotional reasons, so that it could be venerated and be visible,”

It bothers me greatly that one would verate the skeletal remains of a human. One should only venerate the one who rose from the dead, Christ.

“We were always certain that the tomb had to be there beneath the papal altar,”

I for one, think that they sould sarcophagus should remain where it is undesterbed.

I Paul am made a minister. Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church: Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfill the word of God -- Colossians 1:24,25

To dig the dust enclosed here.
Blessed be the man that spares these stones
And cursed be he that moves my bones." --Shakespeare, at his grave
