catholic Relic
Is it true that there is a saints relic in every catholic church?
Before the Second Vatican Council a Roman Catholic Mass could only be validly celebrated on an Altarstone, and every Altarstone had to contain the relics of TWO saints - at least one of whom was a martyr.
So every church built before the Second Vatican Council contains the relics of at least TWO saints (in the altarstone).
In practice this is true of every church built since the Second Vatican Council also. A church would be built without an altarstone only in an emergency (and I can't really think of what kind of an emergency would make it necessary).

Vadstena klosterkyrka och relikerna av Heliga Birgitta - Relics of S:t Bridget in Vadstena
Who started the veneration(worship)of "saintly relics" in the Catholic & Orthodox churches & why?
This isn't mentioned anywhere in the Bible.So,who started it and why?The veneration(worship)of some "saintly relics"includes some of their body parts.Personally,I think to put such items on display anywhere is being disrespectful of the dead,and that their bodies should be left alone!
Does anyone else feel the same way?
The natives in this region where I live are called "Carriers" because they believed that if they carried a piece of their dead relative (an ear, a finger, etc) it would remind them of that person, and it would be as if that person was still with them in some way. And they were not forgotten.
It doesn't seem very respectful, but it is human. Strange, but human.
Minor point: veneration is not the same as worship. An old person may be "venerable", but not necessarily someone you worship. Just someone you respect. So get it straight. We have words in the english language that have certain meanings and connotations. Do not mix them up or blur their lines. Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Recently, archeological digs in the middle east uncovered a culture that buried the dead beneath the bed. (pre-dating written history) Also they cut off the heads of their (deceased) loved ones and used them as foundations for their homes. In this way, they kept their loved ones near-by.
If you look at modern behaviour, you see it in fan-girls at rock-concerts, where a famous person is nearly disrobed in public when a frenzy to gain a part of that person's clothing ensues. It's probably the same mentality: "I've touched someone famous! I've touched a piece of history! I've touched something of someone who did miracles!" It's crazy, I know, but it's human. It's a part of us, and might as well embrace the feeling, girl!
