Scientists Totally Despiritualize A Group Of Holy Relics
Since the sixth century AD a church in Rome has treasured what the devout have believed to be the holy relics of the two apostles Saint James the Younger and Saint Philip. Now, new scientific analysis, has collapsed 1,500-years of Christian tradition. For more than 1,500 years, the holy men administering the Santi Apostoli church in Rome have protected what were considered to be bones of two of the earliest Christians apostles: Saint James the Younger (or St. James the Less) and Saint Philip. Although both sets of holy relics have been officially recognized by the Catholic Church, a team of scientists from the University of Southern Denmark have now shown one set at least is much too young to have belonged to either of the saints.

Scientific Investigations of Believed Remains of Two Apostles
In Rome lies the Santi Apostoli church, cared for by Franciscan brothers for more than 500 years. For more than 1500 years, this site has held the believed remains of two of the earliest Christians and Jesu apostles: St. Philip and St. James the Younger - relics of the Holy Catholic Church.
In the first few centuries of Christianity, life was difficult for the Christian minority, but gradually towards sixth century Christianity became the dominant religion and after Emperor Constantine on his deathbed declared Christianity the state religion, churches were erected all over the Roman Empire.

For more than 1,500 years, faithful Christians have flocked to the Santi Apostoli church in Rome to see the bones of two of Jesus s apostles. Since the sixth century, the minor basilica has been said to house relics with the bones of St Philip and St James the Younger. After Emperor Constantine the Great declared Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire in the fourth century, there has been a rapid uptick in the number of churches being built.

Stimulus checks: Many Ohioans paying off debt, saving money
By Cornelius Frolik - Dayton Daily News, Ohio (TNS)
Many Ohioans are using their most recent stimulus checks to pay off debt or add to their savings, according to recent studies.
A Household Pulse Survey conducted between Jan. 6 and Jan. 18 found that more than half of Ohioans who recently received a stimulus check ― which would be part of the second round of payments ― would use the money to pay off debt (54%).
More than a quarter of Ohioans (28%) said they would mostly save the money, and one in six residents expected to mostly spend it.
