“Ruffians objections come from the same-old, same-old thinking that accuse Roman Catholics (and others) of worshipping saints and relics.”
Nonsense. It has to do with common sense and good Christian people being taken for fools by a 800 year old con.
But I guess you are of the belief one cannot be a Christian and have the common sense to suspect that there are con men who steal from good Christians and have done so for a long time.
Anti-Catholicism, pure and simple.
Admit your problem.
Part of your problem is you are not well-read on this subject, and you can’t ever express an educated opinion because you wouldn’t “contaminate” yourself by reading about it. Sad.
I’d find another thread if I were you — you’re wasting your time and our time.
