Next up, a discussion of the authenticity of the warehuse full of wood from the True Cross, and then an explication of the healing powers of the 2nd carpal bone of the right foot of the Blessed St. Philibertius of Cologne.

Your rejection of God and His son is duly noted.

Now crawl back under your rock, you slimey creature!

Somebody actually calculated the volume of “wood of the True Cross” a few years ago by adding up all the known splinters. That is not s difficult as it sounds because the splinters were not sold in a tourist shop to pilgrims with a couple of denarii. They were/are in various churches and monasteries and recorded. The total reached was actually a far smaller volume than necessary for the the Cross.

Except that the “warehouse full of wood” is a canard. A monk in the 19th Century totaled up all of the fragments of the True Cross that had some sort of secondary attestation, and discovered that, at most, we have about 2/3rds of the True Cross, not a warehouse full.
