1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
God believes that the bodies of all Christians are temples of the Holy Ghost to be eternally glorified...In which case, your Saints are no more Saintly than the average Christian...Is your body not the temple of the Holy Spirit???
The body of the Church, that is the communion of all Christians, is the temple of the Holy Spirit. To cite one passage from Paul that addresses the community of Christians as one spiritual body and construe it to mean something else is at best disingenuous.
Catholicism is a faith of all of the senses, smells and bells if you will. The presence of a relic gives us a very real and fully tangible encounter with God, something not found in Protestantism.
