I had an elderly spinster relative who was very devout and a great devotee of Padre Pio. She regularly made pilgrimages to Italy to see his shrine at San Giovanni Rotondo, and she was so dedicated to him, I half expected to see her develop the stigmata. She didn't. When she died, I removed thirty seven black bags of religious objects from her house before it could be sold. She had everything from a pope's zucchetto to a piece of the true cross. I rang her local priest to ask if he, or the church, wanted them. "Burn them" he replied. I kept the zucchetto as it might be handy at some stage. It belonged to Pius X which is not a catholic iPhone.
