Tell me, O Catholic-raised One...

Y: Every once in a while I get reminded of how weird Catholics are.

X: Why is that, O Catholic-raised One.

Y: I'm reading this:

"Frances Xavier Cabrini - Wikipedia"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Xavier_Cabrini

"In 1933, her body was exhumed and divided as part of the process toward sainthood. At that time, her head was removed and is preserved in the chapel of the congregation's international motherhouse in Rome. Her heart is preserved in Codogno, where she founded her missionary order. An arm bone is at her national shrine in Chicago. Most of the rest of her body is at her major shrine in New York.[18]"

X: Do you know if they do the same if you're a Mexican Catholic Saint as an Italian Catholic one?

Y: Well, all that came from Rome, right? They're just following tradition.

X: Don't both of our ancestry tests say we're like 15 percent Italian or something? Maybe that was a commonly accepted practice for them, too. Oooo maybe we should get Italian food for dinner...
