Practice jars Bellarmino: countless Marian altars bear her name without her tomb or relics

Roman practice undercuts Bellarmino’s tomb-only rule.

Marian altars everywhere take her name without her sepulcher or relics.

Latin

XXII. Sed cum ista Bellarmini Doctrina & observatione non satis quadrat praxis Ecclesiae Romanae. Nam quam innumera altaria Beatae Virgini in ea dicata sunt, & de ejus nomine vocantur, de qua tamen non sunt ejus tumulus vel sepulchrum, imo in quibus nullae servari dicuntur illius reliquiae?
