No, actually the burying of someone's bone beneath an altar in a "relic box" becomes an important part of the complete picture of deceit and paganism that is the Catholic Church. "Common sense" and "a basic understanding of salvation history would see"???? lol! Yes, it takes a great deal of "common sense" to "see" that the thigh bone of a Catholic saint is to be venerated while on that long Catholic Road to "salvation". Please, show me more of your "common sense" of your church so I may become more "informed." It takes a particularly brilliant mind to understand that the vial of Mary's tears buried beneath the altar of St. Michael the Archangel Church of the Faithful, is indeed the real thing. After all, the magisterium approved it and three witnesses came forward to claim healing when gazing upon the tears. And of course, Michael the Archangel protects it. With enough prayer to him.

You have shown me quite well the ATTITUDES. Thank you. And the "brilliant common sense" that the RCC bases her doctrines and beliefs on. You are a wonderful witness for the catholic faith. Believe me.

That completely phony and baseless accusation of “deceit and paganism that is the Catholic Church” is EXACTLY the sort of thing that gets you correctly labeled by Catholic posters here.

“”Common sense” and “a basic understanding of salvation history would see”???? lol! Yes, it takes a great deal of “common sense” to “see” that the thigh bone of a Catholic saint is to be venerated while on that long Catholic Road to “salvation”. Please, show me more of your “common sense” of your church so I may become more “informed.””

The common sense would be that salvation history dictates the general resurrection has not happened. Do you agree or disagree? If you agree, then those who die are incomplete anyway so a relic is not an issue in terms of “completeness” or however you referred to it.

“It takes a particularly brilliant mind to understand that the vial of Mary’s tears buried beneath the altar of St. Michael the Archangel Church of the Faithful, is indeed the real thing.”

Are tears bones? No. So it doesn’t work for your complaint anyway. Someone can be complete even if his tears are not with the rest of his body. Also, the fact that there were and are frauds perpetrated by unscrupulous men doesn’t change that even the Bible lauds relics as used by God.

“After all, the magisterium approved it and three witnesses came forward to claim healing when gazing upon the tears. And of course, Michael the Archangel protects it. With enough prayer to him.”

And again, none of that works with your earlier claim, so of course you shifted to something else. And it still doesn’t work. God used relics. The Bible makes that clear. Whether or not you believe they can be used is, therefore, irrelevant.

“You have shown me quite well the ATTITUDES. Thank you. And the “brilliant common sense” that the RCC bases her doctrines and beliefs on. You are a wonderful witness for the catholic faith. Believe me.”

The Catholic Faith - which you clearly hate - will long out live you. If you choose to attack it, that is your choice and you will have to explain your actions later, fine. But the insincerity and intellectual dishonesty used by anti-Catholics so frequently is not an aid to anyone, least of all, them. Again, you were correctly labeled.
