I’m wondering if they are pieces of the actual Cross which Jesus Christ was crucified on, and if so, I’m amazed they were able to preserve them.

I think I might have given Chuck a Douay-Rheims Bible and the Catechism of the Council of Trent.

That’s probably why I’ll never be Pope.

Matthew 7:6 springs to mind.

Just the right gift idea - religious artifacts!

I would have gone for the tortillas emblazoned with Jesus' face, though.

Noah could have built his ark from all the (reputed) shards of the “true cross” scattered about.

Trinkets from the Holy Land. Kids have been selling them on every street corner for the past two thousand years. I guess the Pope bought one of them.

Great gift for a man who couldn't he keep the marriage vows he swore to God he would that day. Does he deserve to be the head of the Church of England?

I love Neil Oliver's recent take on it:

SHOULD CHARLES BE KING?

Reminds me of a common cry of joking hucksters at Renaissance Faires:

"Pieces of the True Cross! Biiiig ones!" :)
