--- This is about the church itself, the bosses, removing from burial, then shipping the skeletons out to Churches around the world and vast treasures being used to decorate the skeletons over periods of up to five years, to build shrines for use in church ceremonies and rituals. ---

The Catholic Church venerates, or gives due respect to, saints. Venerating their bodies and relics is a matter of natural justice, was practiced from the earliest times, and is biblical (2 Kings 13:21).

To this day, it is customary for a relic of a saint to be placed beneath the church's altar. In fact, the practice was mandated until 1969.

According to the article, when medieval churches were desecrated, and robbed of their saints and/or relics, these bodies and/or relics were replaced.

If you object to the veneration of relics, see the practices of the early Church, and 2 Kings 13:21.

If you object to burying saints with jewelery, see the contemporary practice of burying people with jewelery.

If you object to exhumation and reburial, I don't know what to tell you.

LOL, and sure, again that is just totally what this revealing article is about, and what is shocking both Catholics and non Catholics on this thread, just like earlier it was about some one burying his wife with her jewels.
