Sale of relics of Blessed Carlo Acustis: Italian prosecutor’s office investigates one month before his canonization

Under Catholic Church law, the sale of first- and second-class relics is strictly forbidden.

Even second-class relics, which include items used or worn by a saint, are subject to similar restrictions.
