God did not place laws to be used to condemn others or for those that think they know it all to play God. The truth is - what truly determines a sin is if it is going against the Lord's Will and no one has a right to judge that but God. There are some that buy relics because they are inspired by God---and unless you are God. You should keep your mouths shut. You don't need to be in control because God is in contol and if you don't have that faith in him to keep the peace and generate love- And trust- then we lose because this is exactly how satin is working in our world today- sowing discord among brethren. Those of you who rebuke this message with anger, denial or hate- you do because you are truly not one of his chosen.

St. Peter in 1st Corr., when confronted by converted pagan about what he percieved as a profanation of the Holy Sacrament, was quick to tell him that unworthy people who recieve the Holy Sacrament do not profane the Sacrament, they do but profane themselves. In other words, St. Peter was saying that what God has made holy no man can profane and any deliberate act to do so merely profanes the man. What is true of the Holy Sacrament, the consecrated host, is also true of all the sacraments and sacramentals, including relics. No act of man can profane them, so stop worrying about it. We do not need to revert back to the darkest days of Christianity with some kind of Holy War or Holy Inquisition targeting everyone who doesn't share our faith or respect what we deem holy.

An "expert" wrote a commentary about the selling of relics, which is posted on eBay. It states that Canon Law does not forbid the sale of relics so long as the sellers make clear that they are selling the reliquary - and that the relic is a "gift". He also states that there is no market in the secular world for relics; that what people want are the antique and beautiful containers. Baloney!

So, all visitors were able to pick up a 3rd class relic.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929374709032473716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-45690687215039381142009-02-04T19:49:00.000-06:002009-02-04T19:49:00.000-06:00How would one go about getting a relic without buy...How would one go about getting a relic without buying it?Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751632877192942884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-1162847209693315142006-11-06T15:06:00.000-06:002006-11-06T15:06:00.000-06:00I don't believe they allow consecrated hosts to be...I don't believe they allow consecrated hosts to be auctioned off, and I pray that they do not allow such horrendous things.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929374709032473716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-1162830390951202622006-11-06T10:26:00.000-06:002006-11-06T10:26:00.000-06:00Firemeg, Catholics believe in free will, but free ...Firemeg, Catholics believe in free will, but free will just means we can choose to sin or not to sin.
