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

http://www.bibleinterp.com/opeds/cain1357902.shtml


Quote: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.
