OK, so which would be worse, if they're really selling a relic, or if it's a fraud?

Catholic freepers need to contact Ebay and get them to pull that auction. Saints' relics are not to be sold. The Church forbids their sale and trafficking.

A LOT of priceless art work and relics have been stolen from churches in Central and South America lately, especially in Peru.

Ebay won't care about that.

It's the $$$$ that matter to them.

look here and you can see other things this person has sold, including a lot of other relics. Click on the numbers on the far right column. (Where it says Item #)

This is sickening.

Anyone know how to contact someone in the Church and let them know they should contact ebay as well, to stop this from happening in the future, as well as in any other auctions currently running? I wouldn't know who handles this currently, but ebay will listen if the Church contacts them, not just members of the Church.

message sent. Remember when eBay had the consecrated Host for sale? I sent an email then too but had no response. Doubt they respond now either.

Just found this, dated May 2005:

The Boycott is Over: Ebay Will Not Permit Future Auctions of Catholic Communion Hosts . It was about the sale of Hosts, but this may apply:

Excerpt: Much to its credit, Ebay has reconsidered, and has officially stated that, under its existing policies, sales of the Eucharist, as well as other unspecified holy objects of Catholics and other religious faiths, will not be permitted in the future. In fact, Ebay is asking Catholics to bring any violations of this policy to its attention promptly, so that it can take appropriate action.

You may want to re-ping your lists. I just spoke to the editor of LifeSite about this.

He looked over both auctions by this seller, and said they will cover this in another story. They will also re-visit the previous encounter with ebay's allowing the sale of the Holy Eucharist.

He asked that I send an e-mail detailing who I have contacred/called/emailed so far, and include any responses they gave, as well as any thoughts I may have on this for "quotes" in their story.

Here is his email address: editor@lifesitenews.com. Put "JOHN HENRY" in the subject line so he knows which emails to look for as he said he receives about 400 a day.

Hopefully, we can help end this auction, as well as any similar ones now or later.

The seller is claiming these are from The Poor Clare's.
"Q: what exactly does it say on the document--contineri particulas C___? What is this word?
Feb-28-06
A: .... contineri particulas Carnis.... The bone theca is closed on the back, no removable back lid....The relics come from the Poor Clares, additional info for the winning bidder."
