benedict_x Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 My partner was given a bible by his heretic older sister years ago. It's the standard stolen/vandalized (read: protestant) kind and I want to get rid of it but do not know how to it properly. So how do I do it? While we're on that topic how do I dispose of sacramentals and pictures (i.e previous year's Saints Calendar) respectfully? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benedict_x Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 So I gather the consensus is burning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireplace in your home would be best if possible IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggamafu Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I could be wrong, but I was always under the impression that one need only resort to burning or burying if the object was [i]blessed [/i](that is, was a sacramental). Otherwise, into the can it may go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
