I saw this clip cross my Twitter feed, and I watched in absolute horror.

This Roman Catholic bishop is taking what appears to be a real, human skull, placing it inside the head of a statue of, I don’t know, I guess Mary, and then he bows down to “venerate” it.

It’s dark, sick, and passed off as some kind of Christian worship.

It is not. There is no other way to describe this scene other than grotesque necromancy.

Of course they will defend the practice. To Roman Catholics, rituals involving the relics of “saints” are simply how they continue their pagan religious charade. They collect bones, parade corpses, kiss skulls, and they attribute spiritual significance to human remains, and pass it off as an ecclesial ceremony centered around the worship of Christ.

Of course, you will find absolutely nowhere in Scripture, and nowhere in early church history, any such practices described as anything but forbidden pagan practices. And whatever historical claims Rome makes to Peter’s seat, this is dark, morbid, spiritually corrupt, and entirely foreign to the faith once for all delivered to the saints.
