A Christian professor of church history once said in a class I was taking that there have been enough relics of the true cross to build a battleship.

I would think a man who has spent his life studying religion and its relationship with humanity would take greater issue with a congressperson describing the Cathedral of Notre Dame as a pretty building than some dude on the internet having faith in a purported relic

So you are saying they are MAGAts.

Duh. Everyone knows it’s in Kings Landing.

Did Excalibur survived to the fire ?

It's secretly buried under.

Only double imbecile like Reza see that as a point of this post. And not that @Ilhan maliciously reduced the #NotreDame cathedral to "art and architecture", instead of one of the most important Christian cathedrals.

Don’t be a dick.

Exactly the take I was waiting for. There are many reasons to be upset about the fire at Notre Dame, but a relief that a fake sacred relic survived should not be one of them.

Oh Lord

Nascent capitalism: I bet over the various Crusades, knights returned to Europe with trunks of loot they cld sell on the "relics" mkt which was a big deal in the Middle Ages. Authentication was *not* a big deal.
