The Bible states that Jesus ascended into Heaven. That is part of the foundation that the Catholic Church, and other denominations are built on.
Now, STRICTLY HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION!!!
A grave is found, and it is proven 100% (again, HYPOTHETICALLY) that the remains are identified as those of Jesus Christ. What does that do to the religions that teach and preach Jesus' ascension into Heaven? Would we see a worldwide crisis of faith?
But to answer your question......would we see a worldwide crisis of faith?
Most likely - yes!
Just look at sins created by humans like priests and pastors - we already see this as a factor to a crisis of faith by so many. How many had questioned their faith over these sex and abuse scandals?
What more when you find something that totally busts the core of our Christian belief?
The Resurrection of Christ. I'd speculate that so many will be devastated and question their faith!
If the Resurrection didn't happen - that would mean the New Testament is toast.
All the devil has to do is sow confusion and the seeds of doubt.
