Bone fragments belong to St. Paul, pope says

As the Year of St. Paul comes to a close and in time for the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul celebrated by the Church today, Pope Benedict announced that a scientific analysis of bone fragments taken from the tomb of St. Paul in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome are in fact those of someone who lived between the first and second century. The bone fragments were retrieved by a probe inserted into a small hole in the tomb.

"That seems to confirm the undisputed, and long-held view that the tomb contains the remains of Paul the Apostle," the pope said. For the full story click HERE and HERE.
