Logic in the Philippines

After inspecting my first post and not being overly enthusiastic about it and having nothing better to do I pressed "Next Blog" and up came "Prodeoetpatria.Blogspot.com" a post of the RC church in the Philippines edited by Gerald.

Two paragraphs were of interest, being ignorant of the mechanics of my computor, I've hand typed most of the test below:

"Relics of the Passion at Greenbelt Chapel"

A very special day.....as the city was visited by the relics of Passion. A piece of the True Cross, Crown of Thorns, Holy Nails, Column of Flagellation.....the relic from the table where the Last Supper took place, Sindonis D.N.J.C. from the burial shroud of Our Lord.

.....after the Holy Mass, the faithful venerated the sacred relics amidst the Interfaith Rally for Truth..."

I sense that there is a bit of conflict in the above, possibly Gerald can resolve this?? The words above bring to mind an observation by Samuel Clements (Mark Twain) in his book "Innocents Abroad" That if all the pieces of the True Cross possessed by the various Cathedrals, Abbeys and Convents were put together, a structure about 100 feet high and 50 feet across would result.
