The skull of John the Baptist - on display in Amiens Cathedral in France. Taken out - worshipped and adored resting on a silver platter.
When not on display - kept behind bars:
The Vatican in Rome claims that the skull of the baptist is also to be found in the Church of S.Sivestro in Rome. To make the legacy of John the Baptist more complicated, the Grand Mosque of Damascus Syria also claim to have the head of John the Baptist. AND - there is also a fourth claim to the head. This head is kept in a Museum in the German city of Munich. In the Residenze, a castle belonging to the past Catholic Kings of Bavaria.
"An astonishing and 'horrible thing has been committed in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own power; And My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end?" Jeremiah 5:30-31
So, who said to begin with that it was the skull of John the Baptist; the same for each of them? Someone makes an unsubstantiated claim and it's accepted?
ReplyDeleteAnd why keep his skull anyway? Are they just worshiping it?
Catholics are bizarre.
Yes, I wonder this as well. The RCC has taught heresy for hundreds of years and it is most difficult to witness and share with them.
