Of course he isn't interested in scientifically testing the items, because he remembers the shroud of Turin.
And you are correct, but you have uncharacteristically understated the bewilderment that comes from knowing that hordes of Catholics will actually buy this nonsense.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I had to look twice at the url, just to make sure it wasn't from The Onion or similar. Typical, isn't it; as soon as something solid that can be independently analysed does finally show up, it's suddenly a scientific non-issue. At the very least it's playing into the hands of all those sceptics - ie us lot - who might, just possibly, think there's something dodgy going on.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
