It should be buried after all these years.
Same thing happened to me yesterday.
...No wait....that was a chicken bone.
And it fell out of the bin and I put it back in.
Not very respectful to parcel out someone’s remains and for what?
More examples of primitivism....
I heard this on EWTN radio this morning.

I agree. Send it to Rome; after all, if genuine, he was the third Pope.
There have probably been enough pieces of the ‘true cross’ to build a full size replica of Noah’s Ark.
That’s a lot of conjecture in the article.
When i am having a bad day I turn on CNN for the comic relief. I just start laughing, I can’t help myself, they the most idiotic people in the whole world, better than a clown show. I always feel better after watching them for about 5 minutes, no matter who is on. And they take themselves so seriously, OMG it’s hilarious!
Clement was an Orthodox Bishop of Rome (we once had them, as you well know) and an Orthodox Martyr:

The small relic, if authenticated, might be deposited in a new Altar at the Consecration of a new Orthodox Temple!!!!
He must have been dumped in shallow water
I think the writing means “from the ossuary of St. Clement.”
Glad they got it back. I’ve got three nails from Jesus’ cross and I know I’d be devastated if I lost one of those.
