How are Catholic saints bodies dismembered for dispersal as relics - in particular St. Therese of Lisieux?
The bodies of saints are no longer dismembered. In the past when a saint was disinterred for the recognition before beatification or canonization a small amount of tissue or bone would be removed, usually by a doctor, for use in preparing relics. Except for hair relics or second class relics, the only other relics I am aware of for St. Therese of Lisieux are ex cineribus relics - the dust left in the casket after the body has decayed. Today the disinterment and removal of tissue for relics is rarely practiced for modern saints who begin the canonization process soon after they die.

Where are most Christian Relics found?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere are four classes of relics: first class relics are pieces of the bodies of saints (bone, hair, etc.). Second class relics are things that were touched or used by the saint when he was alive (clothing, missals, prayer books, vestments). Both of these relics are very precious are are usually controlled by the Church. Third class relics are usually small pieces of cloth that have been touched to a first class relic, fourth class relics are usually pieces of cloth that have been touched to a second class relic. These are more common, and can be bought, sold, and given to laypeople. As relics are from saints, they are found all over the world. Any Catholic altar will have true first class relics contained in a small box (or tomb) that is cemented in the center of the altar stone.
