Has the Vatican authenticated this event?
I do not believe that Catholics can accept this as a "miracle " from God until the pope weighs in .


Seems to me , that different people saw different things, this sounds like a group hysteria .

Have you ever looked at a cloud that looked like something ?

This does prove the effect of group hysteria IMO

Why should they? No one is proclaiming a miracle.

No and I doubt it ever will.

Perhaps. This is my Parish and I have spoken to a number of people who were there. They are convinced what they saw was a eucharistic miracle. Whether Rome weighs in or not doesn't matter to them. Also Father Bernie hasn't made a big deal about this. This story is about five years old, I don't know why it's being resurfaced now.

Well it was a woman's retreat group that was in the chapel when this happened :-)

The host is not the size of a cloud but I see your point.

Haven't you ever had a revelation while praying? Our Lord speaks to us in the Blessed Sacrament. As Adoration once again becomes popular, I am confident stories like this one will become commonplace.
