Mario,
I suggest you read my earlier posts. The suggestion is not that the body is
preserved because it was shipped with other cargo but that it was embalmed
and stuffed with spices - a simple but important difference.
However since you have backed down from your earlier claim that St FX died
before the embalming was introduced, I close discussion with you though I
expect you will have the last word as is your want!
Cheers,
Eddie

Eddie,
Please stick to some civilized form of debate
language. First you quote someone who claimed that
St. FX was preserved because he was stuffed in a
coffin and shipped with other cargo from Japan to Goa,
then you bring in the issue of mummification, when any
Goan would know that St. FX was not mummified, now you
introduce embalming, when there is no record of St. FX
being embalmed. And you have the nerve to call me
pathetic? Pathetic is what you see in your mirror
every morning.

Pathetic Mario! When his back is to the wall, he
resorts to deleting his
earlier claims and clowning!

So could he enlighten us as to when embalming was
introduced?
