| This blood's for you! |
Apparently a
vial of the pope's blood drawn from him shortly before his death will be installed in the alter at a Polish church. This "relic," as it is being described, will serve as a vampiric reminder of John Paul II's something-or-another. I think it's really rather creepy, to be frank. But I suppose Catholics will come up with all sorts of theologies surrounding veneration (of the
dulia variety, mind), and defend their adoration of a dead man's blood come hell or high water.
Maybe the pope's second miracle will be that he prevents the blood from turning brown. Or maybe the church will employ a bit of scientific know-how to prevent that from happening. Personally, I think they should leave it alone and see if this pope is one of the necrotic superheroes,
The Incorruptibles.
