These handkerchiefs were relics of St. Paul

Protestor:
The OP asked 'which would the Roman Catholic consider to be of the most spiritual value to them'?

There are two things wrong with the question.

1. It is comparing apples to oranges. Both are nutritious, but each have its own different nutrient to give the body.

In the same way, both the relic and the Bible have spiritual value. But they are of different sorts. The Bible, understood according to the teaching of the Church, bestows wisdom and knowledge.

As for the sacramental, the relic, the blessings of God are bestowed upon the believer by simply handling the object. The spiritual value is immeasurable as only God can measure its value.

Acts 19:12

King James Version (KJV)
¹² So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

These handkerchiefs were relics of St. Paul, do you think the early Christians valued them more highly than they did the Scriptures?

2. You are asking us to make a SPIRITUAL measurement. There is no wrong answer for us. We have seen the power of God work through relics and through the Scriptures. But Protestants do not have spiritual discernment and will not understand our answers nor our reasons.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Sincerely,

De Maria
