Catholics do not dig up corpses. They do take relics from bodies, it’s true, and if they can’t fit bodies into cemeteries, they create ossuaries and decorate the dead out of respect and a sense of beauty.

Let me turn your faces purple by the relic I saw in an Italian church of a saint’s tongue. This is very medieval. An outcome of the terrible deaths inflicted upon Europe. I only wish we had a relic of dear St. Joan but we don’t. I would bid a thousand dollars for a tiny sliver of her bones. I have a sliver of St. Gerard who I am named after.

According to legend her heart was was found incorrupt in the ashes, and thrown in the nearby river. Probably still there.

I have a bit less than a sliver of bones and I'll let you have it for a mere $499.95!

My ex-brother-in-law has a scar; delivered by the mouth of a St. Bernard.

You can see that for FREE!
