I am really hoping that Pope Francis will bring an end to this practice of retaining bodily relics.

Few practices do more to convince my fellow Christians that I belong to some sort of weird, creepy cult.

So are you more concerned with what we think about this macabre practice,

or

do you think it is just plain wrong?

Don’t hold your breath. And besides, who cares what the heretics think anyway? That’s like trying to appease or be ‘bipartisan’ with democrats, not gonna happen because all they want is your destruction.

2 Kings 13:21
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

21 And some that were burying a man, saw the rovers, and cast the body into the sepulchre of Eliseus. And when it had touched the bones of Eliseus, the man came to life, and stood upon his feet.

Looks like that “weird, creepy stuff” works and it’s been going on for a long time.
