0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Catholic Talk Show. |
0:03.2 | Today, we're talking about the strangest Catholic relics. |
0:07.0 | That's right. We're going to look at the bizarre world of relics in the Catholic church. |
0:10.4 | We're going to tell you the strangest ones that we've found |
