THE rustic redgum reliquary containing three hairs taken from Blessed Mary MacKillop when she died in 1909 has been revealed in Penola.

“We did not open her tomb to see if there were bones or other remains,” Sister Maria, the Postulator(?) for the Canonisation of Mary MacKillop, said.

“This is the only relic we have of her.

Apart from her whole body in a tomb, of course. But facts have never deterred a Catholic from outright lying.

“This is an uniquely Australian piece and will certainly be different to anything else that will be presented to the Pope.“

Yes, he normally gets presented with stolen loot and unearned fawning.

Pity that he never gets presented with arrest warrants, the genocidal kiddy-fucking creep.

P.S. If you want to know: the icon/logo for this post is a picture of massed spiders.
