Clothing and handkerchiefs are second-class relics. I gave you the scripture on relics, but you are unshakably bound to your non-biblical traditions. You prefer the testimony of Calvin over St. Ambrose and St. Augustine.

!st Peter was not dead... he was living and scripture does not say that ANYONE was 'healed" by His shadow.. (i know that means it must be true to a catholic:)

The hankie/apron of Paul it is recorded as being used in exorcism /healing...

It would seem that God used such things to affirm Pauls Apostleship ... Once again the hankie was not a relic.. Paul was alive and the glory went to God so that the name of Christ was magnified and the books of spells and potions and magic of the sorcerers were burned.. We never hear of that hankie again.. unlike the relics paraded around Roman churches as gods..

I prefer to obey God and return the bodies of the dead to the soil where they can return to dust to await the resurrection..

Not Roman churches. All Christian churches for the past 2000 years except for a few scripture and Christian Fathers-denying oddities.

God has commanded us to bury all of the dead? Scripture, please.
