medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

You misunderstood: You say, you study the medieval period. Then do it - and ask, what they thought about, not what a modern man does. 
Take the unicorn: Everybody knows, that it does not exist. Realyy everybody? Medieval people were convincet, that they exist. If you deal with them, you must take them seriously. That's my point, and for this it's no use, that I know, that there was never a beast like an unicorn.

I am interested in whether or not the relics are true. Am I offending someone's religion by saying that at the very least most of them look like frauds? Does this really offend people? Seriously, I don't know anyone like this, yet the discussion on this list seems to be like a debate over whether God exists or not?

Dear friends,
Thank you for the interesting discussion, but the question of "true" or "false" concernig relics is a modern one and not historical, at least not medieval.
