Yeah, I know. There are still rich idiots buying. I always have a good laugh when it comes to relics. Some saint even had 17 arms distributed to different churches.
There was a german author named Karlheinz Deschner. Died earlier this year at the ripe age of 90. I loved his work, since his whole career was pretty much criticism of the Roman Cahtolic church and it's traditions. He wrote several pieces about relics. I'm not sure, if he's known outside of Germany and Austria.
