Relics as physical evidence of the ministry of Christ and His followers? Yes. They can be appreciated.
Relics as the focal point of faith to the point that they are seen as conduits to God and instruments of power and obligatory veneration?
That way lies idolatry most foul.
Article states..." Catholics..... should confidently carry on with their good and holy veneration of relics – and perhaps reintroduce their Protestant brothers and sisters to the ancient Christian practice.".....
Not in my lifetime!..Never would I Kiss a dead body part, or stand before a golden image holding a tooth begging for a miracle, nor kneel before the in prayer as depicted in these photos.... Roman Catholics claim that they do not worship relics.... That is a gross lie.... this is damnable idolatry behavior and a spectacular form of paganism.
