Terrific post and I hope you two get to enjoy Louisville between all the reporting! Although the minor league team is away this week perhaps JD can convince Ed to get his picture next to the 3-story Louisville Slugger bat. The bat factory tour is well worth a visit while there, even if just for the souvenir Slugger mini-bat each visitor …

Try to visit the Shrine of St Martin of Tours (https://stmartinoftourslouisville.org/) too...it has the full skeletons of St Magnus and St Bonosa in glass cases under the side alters and 24-hr Eucharistic Adoration! It was also nearly burned to the ground by a mob of Know-Nothings during the Bloody Monday riots of 1855. Last I checked the rector was also the archdiocesan judicial vicar which may explain why the church was recently elevated to a shrine...the canon law around that is interesting in its own right.
I was just going to suggest St Martin's for these reasons! From what I've heard (a friend is friends with one of the cannons of the shrine), the archbishop made it a shrine so they could keep the Latin Mass. And that was justified and possible largely due to the relics of the ancient Roman saints. In any case, it's a beautiful church, well worth a visit, and supposedly the longest continually open Adoration in the country.
