Pope: St Paul’s bones found

I stumbled on an interesting article in the New York Times. The piece titled  ‘Pope Says Tests ‘Seem to Conclude’ Bones Are the Apostle Paul’s’  suggests that the apostle Paul’s bone have been finally unearthed, from the article:

“Vatican archaeologists in 2002 began excavating the eight-foot coffin, which dates from at least 390 and was buried under the basilica’s main altar. The decision to unearth it was made after pilgrims who came to Rome during the Roman Catholic Church’s 2000 Jubilee year expressed disappointment at finding that Paul’s tomb — buried under layers of plaster and further hidden by an iron grate — could not be visited or touched.”

Call me a sceptic if you must, but that these are Paul’s bones are unlikely in my view.
