from Italian scholar, Antonio Lombatti, on the apparent need of some xtians to worship relics.

While pareidolia seems to be a psychological phenomenon of all Christianities, relics and weeping statues are confined to the Catholic universe. The best scholar who debunked many of these fake relics was a Christian: John Calvin. I consider him to be still the best ally in this battle against ignorance and superstition. It was he -- and not an agnostic or an atheist -- to show the absurdity of a cult, which brought his religion close to paganism.

Nice essay I liked it. I do have to say I really enjoy the aspects of my denomination that are based off of the protestant reformation. I don't think he was accurate at all in saying "all Christianities", I know it doens't apply to my Church. I would have like to see him talk more of the distinctions between pareidolia, idolatry and symbolism.
