The 150-year-old heart of a French priest is on a U.S. tour

You might just say you just sorta...
stepped on my aorta! LOL
From an old silly heartbreak song.
There are so many fake things that people worship all over the Holy Land. There are several tombs of Jesus there. Pay to see them. I prefer to just stick to my Bible for the truth. There is NOTHING in the Bible about worshipping OR venerating a body part!!!!!!!!!!!!!! zero zip nada....
There are ten commandments that warn us NOT to do that.
Commandment #1 “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
That would include NOT praying to or vernerting a body part. NOT praying to Mary (NOT IN THE BIBLE! thus doing so is blasphemy) Catholics were not allowed to read the Bible until people like Martin Luther translated it, and then came the printing press, putting the actual Word Of God into our hands.
IF (big IF) this story is even true, you are a “CHRISTIAN”. If you want to belong to a “religion” that parades around a dead heart in a little gold house, you can.
“Catholic” had NOTHING to do with it. Jesus isn’t “CATHOLIC”
Did they have any virgin Mary toast as well?
“How the Virgin Mary’s grilled cheese stayed mold-free for 10 years.”
“A likeness of the Virgin Mary spotted in the trunk of a suburban tree is being touted as a divine “blessing”.”
You can’t make this stuff up.... or can you?
“His heart is being venerated, not worshiped.”
It’s ventilated all right.
Semantics that fool no one. Really. But keep telling yourself that while the rest of us worship,God alone.
C’mon, this is SICK! You can’t be series!
“God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.” Acts 19:11-12
“His heart is being venerated, not worshiped.”
Then why are people on their knees, praying before it?
You can’t “seriously” defend this.
:>)
Did he visit South America ?
““God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.” Acts 19:11-12”
REAL miracles, not holy Mary toasted cheese sandwiches and petrified hearts.
The Catholic church is a relic.
Where does that translate to put peoples hearts in a gold box, parade them around and kneel in front of them? I’ll bet no one knelt in front of Paul’s handkerchiefs. The rest of us recognize idolatry only the blind cannot see
They think they can. Paul would be horrified at this. Rightly so
So Catholics say:
“Dear (insert person who’s body part/bodily fluids is shown in the display), we ask you to hear our prayer. It is clear God shows you are holy, because (body part/bodily fluid) did something we cannot explain. Please intervene with God concerning my (issue).”
Is this basically “it?”
It is NOT being WORSHIPPED, you idiot.....its being g REVERED!
It is NOT being WORSHIPPED, you idiot.....its being g REVERED!
CORRECTION: The heart is ADMIRED and VENERATED, yes, but it is NOT WORSHIPED!
His response was right on point: "OK -- so whose powers are YOU using when YOU heal the sick and make the lame walk?"
Forget about hearing a pin drop. You probably could have heard two atoms passing in the air just then.
Maybe you should read a little more about St. John Vianney.
Thank you.
The "journalist" either was negligent and didn't know that or he was aware but a smear merchant - like many of his peers.
Either way he sucks at his job.
