A scientific investigation seems to confirm the theory that St Paul's bones lie under the basilica bearing his name in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI has announced.More fuel for the fire
I suspect the Times UK is the one holding the gas can - they went beyond the Pope's claims in their exaggerated headline:
Basilica bones are St Paul's, Pope declares after carbon dating tests
The pontiff said: "Small fragments of bone were carbon dated by experts who knew nothing about their provenance and results showed they were from someone who lived between the 1st and 2nd century. This seems to confirm the unanimous and uncontested tradition that these are the mortal remains of Paul the Apostle."
If I may. If anyone is planning a trip to Rome, go online and make reservations for the Scavi tour under St. Peters. Outside view of Peter’s resting place.
Is this a trick question? Like “Who is buried in Grant’s tomb?”
You’d think the Vatican would have more faith.
