The truth on the Mark of Shiva thing.
"Q: Someone in the schismatic group the Society of St. Pius X told me that when the pope was in India he had his forehead anointed by a Hindu 'priestess of Shiva' and that there is a photo to prove it. Is this true?
"A: There is a photo of the pope having his forehead anointed by an Indian woman, but she was a Catholic, not a Hindu priestess! She was giving a traditional Indian form of greeting known as 'Aarti,' which has no more religious significance than a handshake in western culture or giving someone a wreath of flowers as a welcome in Hawaii.

So you can show us how it is a common Catholic garment the woman was wearing when she gave this ‘anointing’ to The Pope? It sure looks like the garment worn by the Shiva Priestesses ...

(Some, believing they can't be deceived, it's nigh impossible to convince them when they're deceived.)
