    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral Thank you. As for sarcastic comments - "Observe which side resorts to the most vociferous name-calling and you are likely to have identified the side with the weaker argument and they know it." Charles R. Anderson Tracy - if you...

    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral Yes Tracy, I'm sure you're right :wink: Except that there has been no 'victory' as you put it. I was pm'd by someone who felt that other members might not be enjoying the debate so I chose to disengage - that is all. :wink:

    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral Oh dear, what an angry person you are Tracy. Gautama said that "you aren't punished for your anger, you are punished by your anger" so I will leave your situation with you. It is fairly obvious, Tracy, that when one mentions...

    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral Tracy, please, please don't make up history for your own cause. :| Priscilian was a Christian and Catholic. True, the western church was trying to root out diverse and divergent beliefs but they were all Christians and as they...

    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral Absolutely - non-sequiturs ain't in it - and, of course tea-total! not tee-total (that would be a compulsive golfer). I really love it too as the threads usually swing back round again. John Wesley - now there is man I would have...

    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral Rather fond of poor Priscilian but was he so different from Manichaean beliefs - yes, a Catholic but different with that leaning. Two Bishops who were followers of his teachings were denounced by Rome for 'Manachaeism' - so far in...

    How to tell if your backpack is too light

    Your backpack is too light if after two weeks people won't stand closer than 10 feet to you as you haven't washed (no towel or soap), nor changed your underwear in that time. :wink:

    Post Camino Questionnaire, Please...

    Careful with the graven images :lol: 'that Fox' is what Jesus called Herod :wink: Must be my age and tv when I was a child but with that name I keep thinking of 'the mark of Zorro' . hhmm .. Perhaps a Fox with a shell in it's mouth?

    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral Steady now - there is no 'evidence' that Jesus was an Essene, only modern supposition by those who wish to create theories to fill a new book. The only connection that would work is that both he and they healed people. Yes, I know...

    Post-Camino Sanctuary: Opinions Needed

    Agree with all you say - I was just being jokey really .. saints relics, etc. I do really think that if it is built then people will go to it - I think you hit on the point, the 'not wanting to let go of it' ... advertising and then feedback from visitors and it should go well I would have...

    Post-Camino Sanctuary: Opinions Needed

    "if you build it they will come" You could also use it as a pre-camino halt - hypnotise them to believe that they had already done it ? :wink: Mind you - it is 60 miles away from the Camino .... so you would need something 'Caminoish' to draw them - a saints relics comes to mind, or a newly...

    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral I do just remember the campaign in '59, I was 11 then. :shock: Hang on Matron - I'm fairly certain that St. James drove a VW beetle ... isn't there a statue somewhere with him in one? or is that st. Diesel? anyway - my point, if...

    Are St James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral?

    Re: are St. James' relics really held in Santiago's cathedral When VW introduced the Beetle to the UK in 1959 they set up dealerships, did all the advertising, thought they had people interested, then they sold exactly one in the first year. Mustard seeds come to mind .... :wink:
