They're going batshiat over his heelbone. His HEELBONE!!! That is just fricken nutty. Do they really think that Damien is looking down from above, smiling at all the people that are going crazy over his heelbone? He's probably a little creeped out.
Wait..Obama didnt get 'sainthood' yet? Im disappointed. I mean if he makes any effort or comment about it, he should get it like he got the Nobel Peace Prize.
Leprosy, What a sorry mess I am to see. Even friends can't stand to look at me. Oh, I despise my leprosy. Gradually, I'm not half the man I used to be. Pieces keep on falling off of me. It happens now so gradually. When my tongue fell off, I don't know, I couldn't say. I said, "zump ping wong". Now I long for that sweet day When I had no Leprosy. Making with me could never be. Yes, I've lost my chance for ecstasy. Oh I despise My leprosy.

Never studied relics in the Catholic Church before? We're lucky it's not his foreskin.

Ahh, relics.
Well, a piece of cloth is all well and good (as there are those kinds of relics), but sometimes we catholics go into Ed Gein territory.

There's at least one saint who was purportedly ripped apart while still alive. When Simeon Stylites died they had to mobilize the army to stop his body from being torn apart. This is why I study religion.
Damien built homes for Kalaupapa's leprosy patients and bandaged their wounds at a time when the disfiguring disease still carried a powerful social stigma, and almost no one else wanted to get near those who had it.
He was diagnosed with the disease 12 years after he arrived in Kalaupapa and died four years later in 1889.

Damien. Good.
He's an excellent example of how Christians are supposed to act.
