This article it gets crazier as you read it: 1st someone stole brain from a 19th century corpse exposed in the church for Catholics to worship, then police put roadblocks to catch the criminal, then Catholics started making theories that they will be used in satanic rites.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
