The Apostles were witnesses to Mary’s death, not to Hoffa’s. Mary’s relics would have been highly cherished, not Hoffa’s.
Pure speculation and conjecture. Not a scrap of reliable evidence to support that.
Mary’s relics would have been highly cherished, not Hoffa’s.
Except that the apostles would clearly have recognized the dangers of superstition and not bothered with them. They weren't the typical Catholic, you know.
And that is where in scripture?
Where did Mary live then? How did they all make it from their various missionary journeys?? How did they know??
“The Apostles were witnesses to Mary’s death,”
The Synoptic Gospels were written prior to the fall of Jerusalem without any mention of the death of Mary. John, the Apostle to whom Jesus entrusted Mary wrote his Gospel and letters around 90 A.D. without any mention of Mary’s death. Luke wrote his Gospel and Acts before the fall of Jerusalem. In Acts he mentions the death of the Apostle James but no mention of Mary’s death. Peter does not mention her death in his letters and even her son James failed to mention her death in his epistle.
There is no basis for the statement that the Apostles would have highly cherished Mary’s relics when there is no evidence they treated her death any more highly than any one else in the church community; in point of fact, there is no evidence that the Apostles cherished any relic of Jesus except His memory, words, and deeds.
“Mary’s relics would have been highly cherished, not Hoffa’s.”
I wouldn’t be to sure about that. It seems that 10 to 11 times a year, including the pre and post season, between 60,000 to 70,000 people make the pilgrimage to the Meadowlands to pay their respects at the potential site of Hoffa’s burial.
