Good apologetics in support of the practice of the ancient church. However, you Latins, especially in these parts, need to reclaim the importance of holy relics. The Latin bishops here in the Great Plains have been giving relics to my bishop (Bishop BASIL of Wichita and Mid-America) at a surprising rate: it seems whenever a church is closed, the Latin bishop gives him the relics it housed, rather than distributing them to other churches of his own diocese. While we Orthodox are grateful for the gift of the holy relics, but it doesn’t say anything good about the strength of traditional piety in your confession.
Interesting observation. Thankfully, the Archbishop at our Dedication Mass and our priest at another presentation one eveing have both explained the importance of relics.
Unfortunately in our day many such bishops are unworthy of the office.
We have an incredible chapel of holy relics not far from here.
