rs that if they worship these relics, they will work
wonders and cure the ailment of any affliction they may be possessed
of.

For instance, they will take the bone of some Catholic Saint (?) and
admonish the followers of Catholicism to touch this bone, or to kiss
it, and declare to them that by so doing they will become entirely
cured of any malady that may rack their person with misery.

In fact, Catholicism will resort to all kinds of nonsensical

I will now relate what I saw in Munster, Germany. The news spread all
