Come, come, why weren’t Catholics better able to protect their precious relics???

The real “buffoonery” is evident when the weak and insecure in their faith scramble to defend against the slightest hint of criticism at every opportunity lest their beloved ideal be besmirched. THAT is comedy at its finest!

Yes, that is a valid point. For long, Catholicism and especially Orthodoxy suffered from a misconception that their God-given Church is not in need of human defenders.

Have not we power to eat and to drink? [5] Have we not power to carry about a woman, a sister, as well as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? [6] Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this? [7] Who serveth as a soldier at any time, at his own charges? (1 Cor. 9)

But I think it is changing. Young Catholics that I meet are in a fighting mood.
