“Catholic Answers is a lifeline to orthodox teaching and has informed me of my Catholic faith better than any instruction I received in all my years as a life-long Catholic.”
"We do not worship, we do not adore, for fear that we should bow down to the creature rather than to the Creator, but we venerate the relics of the martyrs in order the better to adore Him whose martyrs they are."
~ St. Jerome ("Ad Riparium", i, P.L., XXII, 907) writing on proper Catholic veneration of relics.
