Paraphrasing G K Chesterton in his “Orthodoxy”, a maniac’s small vision of the world explains everything that is, but it is a much smaller world than the one we live in.
There are incorruptibles, and no matter how much you deny their existence, they still exist. But if your doctrinal formation is such that they cannot exist, then they must not exist...
I’ve only seen a few incorruptibles, St. Catherine Laboure and another nun from her community in Paris, and the burnt remains of St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, an incorruptible that the French revolutionaries burned and threw in the river during the Reign of Terror. I would love to see more, but we have so few here in the United States.
This is a nice reference for believers in the miracles of incorruptibles and those who simply cannot believe:

There are facts, and there are beliefs, and there are things some want so badly to believe that they become as facts to them....they will keep on believing, despite all the evidence that they are wrong.
Furthermore.... people convince themselves or remain convinced of what ‘they want’ to believe...seeking out agreeable information while they avoid, ignore, devalue, forget, or argue against information that contradicts their beliefs... doing all the mental gymnastics it takes to remain convinced that they’re right.
As has been said....”The real enemy of truth is not ignorance, doubt, or even disbelief,.It is false knowledge.”
