There's a story in the Bible about such "rotten stuff."

2 Kings 13:21

Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb. When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.

I missed the part where the Israelites carried Elisha’s severed limbs about and kissed them.

And your point being?

Attempting to somehow equate Mary with Elisha??

We have the OT account of how God used Elisha and the wonders that he was able to do.

We have no such records regarding Mary having super natural capabilities in the NT. Nor is there any hint of her having any super natural powers.

The catholic desperation to somehow justify Mary as being equal or like Elisha to justify their worship of her is indeed sad.
