The Best Present Ever


Resurrexi

Recommended Posts

The best gift I could ask for and reasonably expect to get would be a first class relic of St. Thomas Aquinas. :yes:

Anyone want to have the honor of giving me this present?

We have these things called "Fish Fingers" in Australia. If I stab it a few times with a knife and decorate it with some frilly paper it might look like a relic of his finger?

I can send it over right away.

That's what I was wondering.

So after I die and am sainted, my husband can sell my wisdom teeth on Ebay? I keep them in my jewelry box right next to my gall stones.

i think e-bay was notified that this practice is insulting to our Catholic Faith. Not sure if e-bay ever did anything to stop it, though...

Supply and demand. If the Church educates her children about the sinfulness of buying relics and how they're probably not even real if they're on ebay then the demand will dry up and e-bay can't do anything about it.
