Oh, good grief. And to think we all laughed at Linus when he thought he saw The Great Pumpkin rising out of the pumpkin patch.

Nothing like perpetuating superstition....

Nothing like perpetuating superstition....

Or Anti-Catholic bigotry.

Don't criticize what you won't understand. We have not earned the right to fight one another in public while mutually attacked by our common secularist and satanic enemies. There is little likelihood that this thread will change your mind and none that your post will change ours.

Whenever we find ourselves falling into strife against one another we give aid and comfort to the servants of our mutual and most ancient enemy.

Superstition? Have you ever seen the tilma or read about it? It's still on display, nearly 500 years old. A tilma of these type of fibers rots away naturally after about 40 years.

Like I said, scientists & opthamologists have studied it and can't explain it. It's much like the Shroud.

In 1921 a powerful bomb was placed by socialist revolutionaries right below it in an attempt to destroy it. The explosion damaged the Church but did not even crack the glass on the frame.

This tilma/image has undergone extensive research and it still cannot be explained.

It's the old adage, 'for those who believe no explanation is necessary, for those who don't no explanation will do.'

[Jn316]

"There is only one "Holy One", and that is Jesus Christ the Lord!"

Amen.

No comment on the rest.
