John Paul II Clothing Now Available
It’s about time for Rome to start making some money off ole “JP II” (John Paul II). This was reported in the Sep 13 Zenit News Agency article titled, “Vicariate of Rome Accepting Requests.” The article says it all:
“People who want to receive a relic ‘ex indumentis’ -- from the clothing -- or a holy card of Pope John Paul II, may do so by writing to the Vicariate of Rome.”
Comment – So……someone at the Vatican has been sitting around cutting up pieces of JP II’s clothing for future distribution. Is this insane, or what?
Another comment - And, I suppose it will be a little more time before they start selling some of his relics ‘ex somes’ – from the body! If I was a Catholic, I’d be careful – rumour has it that extra chicken bones are already being stashed away at the Vatican cafeteria!
The article goes on:
”The Vicariate of Rome is accepting requests via mail, fax or e-mail for the religious items. The petition should be sent to ‘Holy Cards and Relics Service,’ and should indicate a shipping address.”
”The holy cards contain the prayer to obtain graces through the intercession of the Servant of God John Paul II and can be requested in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish and Portuguese.”
”Though the vicariate is not charging for the holy card, donations are accepted to cover the printing and mailing expenses.”
Did you notice - “the vicariate is not charging for the holy card?” Ahhhh……but what about the relics? You can bet Rome isn’t going to give away those JP II treasures for free!
The Catholic use of dead body parts, bits of clothing, or holy cards to help contact a dead person is straight from the pits of hell. Please pray daily that God grants more Catholics repentance from such abominations, and that He blesses them with faith ALONE in Christ for the full and free forgiveness of sins – no pope or relics needed.
