Dear Amy,
First, good for you! for making the decision to learn about the faith, the Bible, and the historical role saintly models have played in the Church. This earthly, physical world is just a drop in the bucket to what awaits us if we persevere toward holiness in the Church.
While I acknowledge your appreciation for fine art, I can't recommend possessing an object like this based on your current spiritual foundation. As a Catholic, who honest admits she doesn't know the faith as well as she could, at this point, you don't want to bring in pieces of art that are rooted in other man-made faith traditions such as Islam and Hinduism.
You said:
- Would it be considered sacrilegious for me to own or possess one of these authentic Kapala Skulls only as an art piece?
Only if the piece of art, defamed, disgraced, or blasphemed Catholic doctrine, people, Scriptures, or Tradition.
You said:
I was reading online (I'm not really sure of the credibility of the source.) that the Roman Catholics used to drink from these skulls as well although I do not believe they made them.
I also would question the credibility of the source.
I hope this helps,
Mike
