"Whats with the obsessive collecting of dead peoples body parts?" That was the very gripe which Martin Luther had which helped trigger the Reformation. At that time there was a pretty lucrative trade in buying and selling body parts of "saints" in order to achieve a "blessing".

At that time there was a pretty lucrative trade in buying and selling body parts of "saints" in order to achieve a "blessing". Even more, churches were displaying these relics - for a fee, an indulgence - that if paid and viewed, would get you or a loved one out of purgatory faster.
