CONCLAVE, the Ralph Fiennes film where he plays a tortured cardinal with Ralph Fiennes face

Relics? like you have a digit of a saint's index finger?

No, just a very tiny piece of cloth or paper or wood presented in an elaborate frame of some sort

But I think these are the kind of relics that are placed under the altar in many Catholic Churches.

I’ll give you $100 for the foreskin of Jesus.

The difficulty with buying items from a dealer who represents them as stolen is the lack of provenance. Your relics could be consecrated or they could be fakes. Unless there's some evidence to establish where they came from no church could accept them as objects of veneration. That would be idolatrous! So, you're most likely stuck with trying to re-establish their authenticity on your own dime, or just disposing of them as profane objects, even if they are truly holy relics.

Boy, are you in trouble!

I like my foreskin fried with a mojo dressing.

Your relics could be consecrated or they could be fakes

A perennial problem with relics iirc

a perennial problrm with perineum relics

Our saints’ taints will make you faint.

this movie was zzz
Even lithgow couldn’t break through the gloom
I don’t think you can count what fiennes did in this as acting
Ending vote implausible

^^good reminder to leave positive reviews here every now and then.

This was good. Love a page turner on the big screen. I could have done with a bit more development of Fiennes faith/doubt, but this was more realistic. Photocopying as a plot point never misses.
