Well now that you mention it, the Roman Catholic faith seems to have an odd obsession with cadavers, skeletons, earthly remains...

Apparently, so does God.

Top Ten Incorrupt Corpses (Secular source).

St. Bernadette of Lourdes
(Died 1879)

St. Silvan's miraculous preservation is especially impressive, since he died over 1600 years ago.

You do realize you’re not looking at the “incorruptible” corpse of Bernadette in that photo right? The face and hands are wax facsimiles which were used to covered the decaying corpse underneath.

One might as well call the pieces in Madame Tussaud’s “incorruptibles”.

Preserved just like their friend Lennin?

There is nothing Godly about these goulish relics of idolatry.
