So What?
Big news from the Vatican! No, no, they haven't found an answer to the problem of war, or a way to feed the hungry, nor have they found an attitude of openness and equality toward all (read *women *non-catholics * homosexuals) but they have found a white marble sarcophagus beneath the altar of Rome's second largest basilica, St. Paul Outside-the-Walls. They believe it to be the final resting place of that old misogynist, "Saint" Paul.
Big, hairy deal. When they've done something more worthwhile with their money than paying archaeologists, like funding the distribution of condoms to fight the spread of AIDS in Africa, get back to me, OK? Until then, who gives a good goddamn whose bones are inside the tomb?

I think you're hardly adopting the proper, respectful attitude here. Just think of the economic benefits of this find. I can see little replicas of St. Paul's skeleton dangling from automobile rearview mirrors. I can see the St. Paul world tour (not to be confused with the Sir Paul world tour), complete with the Sisters of Mercy opening act (it could work). I can see the Vatican selling time with the holy bones, for those who need to get closer to their religion. The possibilities are endless! You just need the right attitude.
