I did like some of the cold war period aspects of Crystal Skull, but they were not enough to salvage the miserable plot.
My wife pointed out that “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” was actually a Voodoo zombie movie. I suspect the original intended setting was the Citadelle in Haiti.

The SJWs in studio probably decided that the setting would be ‘insulting’ to Voodoo (and probably zombies...) and ‘racist’ so they upped and moved the whole thing to India.
A reliquary? If so containing what?
Perhaps it’s the check from the Last Supper.
True enough.
Irina Spalko, who played the EEVIIIILLE Russian, just about STOLE the show. :o)
According to the other link I posted above, the object is an icon.
Jesus didn’t spend a lot of time in Jerusalem, having only visited it two or four times (depending on the source) before he died on the cross.
The answers on DOGMA are all the same. The answers on tradition will reflect different traditions, which IS kopesthetic.
The official answers from the Church have to be from magisterial sources of a certain level—not the sites you sight. Small “t” tradition can go a lot of ways—but John and Luke are part of public revelation, and as I understand the Church’s teaching on scripture, there isn’t any way around holding that what they say to have happened happened.
I don’t see anyway around John presenting at least five distinct trips into Jerusalem which are distinct from the two at the beginning of Luke. Any tradition that excludes John or Luke is NOT kopesthetic from a Catholic perspective.
And I do know a fair bit about how the Catholic Church expects people to study the Bible—I teach a course to college freshman on the subject every year and have studied the relevant documents with some depth.
I respect all four Gospels as the Word of God.
Apparently there were thousands of manuscripts written and circulated so they all had to be studied and evaluated by the early Catholic Church's Magisterium so as to discern what would finally be selected for the New Testament.
The Holy Spirit was hard at work, so to speak.
It is fascinating—and complex.
