'relics linked to him' sounds strange for a boy that died 18 years ago
The whole thing is rather strange. I assume that there are many Catholics self aware enough to know that he clearly didn't perform any miracles but just go along with it anyway.
Wait, do we think the other saints clearly performed miracles?
We're talking about a religion where the son of God walked on water and fed five thousand people with five fish and two loaves of bread.
I think it's easier to buy in to the fantasy when there are several hundreds of years between you and the so-called miracle though.
You have to remember that religious people don't use the scientific method and that they see faith as a very virtuous characteristic.
Well they believe a dude was murdered, then walked out of the grave so is anything else really too far?
This is just how it's always worked. It was just easier to convince people to believe in miracles when we didn't have explanations for everything and video cameras. The church is reaching for coincidences and calling them miracles because that's the best they can do. I'm just surprised they are still trying to make saints and not just settling for Saint Classic.
