I an really not trying to be offensive, but who went around cutting up Elizabeth Seton’s body and then passed it around?

The bone fragment was a family heirloom purchased in the late 1970s by Diaz's grandmother, just after Seton was canonized

Can. 1190 §1. It is absolutely forbidden to sell sacred relics.
