Did Pope Perform Miracle After His Death?

OME -- The sudden recovery of a young French nun suffering from Parkinson's disease is at the heart of the sainthood case for Pope John Paul II, the Polish priest who heads the inquiry said Monday.

The Vatican needs to confirm a miracle after John Paul's death for the pontiff to be beatified, the first step toward his possible canonization.

Monsignor Slawomir Oder told The Associated Press in an interview that an official inquiry into the nun's inexplicable recovery was beginning this week.

Look, I found a super secret Catholic bible right here on the internet.

It even puts a little asterisk by the double-secret books that non-Catholics are NOT supposed to see!

[The Lumster]

Your the one who implied that the bible I use was unreliable because it is "missing' some important information.

Perhaps you could quote me chapter and verse from your catholic edition where it states that praying to people in heaven is to be rpacticed by living christians

[Petronski]

Where have I called anyone names?

You called the leaders of the Catholic Church apostates and you called me and my Catholic brethern idolators. Both lies, btw.

[dighton]

Oh no, it put a death cookie on my hard drive!

;-)

[Petronski]

LOLOL

[The Lumster]

Calling someone an apostate idolater is not calling names when it is the truth

[trisham]

So, asking any dead person to pray for you is idolatry according to scripture

Please stop trying to hijack this thread.

[You Dirty Rats]

I have a hugh and series question for you:

Do you know where I can get a "My Deity can beat up your Deity" bumper sticker?

You seem to have all of the answers, so I thought I would ask.

[Petronski]

Calling someone an apostate idolater is not calling names when it is the truth.

And thus, by force of logic, since you are NOT telling the truth--but instead bearing false witness against roughly a BILLION fellow Christians--it follows that you HAVE in fact been calling names.

Mother Teresa, no "h" in Teresa, hasn't been canonized, yet. Beatified, yes.

[Drago]

In "World of Warcraft" you have to resurrect before you can do anything, including miracles.

[Petronski]

Not to mention that it is very bad form and most probably against the rules to plow into a thread and flame an entire religion.

[The Lumster]

didn't teach you the difference between mediator and intercessor

Did your education teach you the difference between making intercession for and making intercession to?

[ArrogantBustard]

the bible that we have is not reliable

Not unreliable ... merely abridged, for ideological purposes. Wonder what's in the complete Bible that your masters don't want you to see?

Super secret? Hardly ... If you want to be taken seriously, you need to restrict your posts to telling the truth.

[Petronski]

Did your education teach you the difference between making intercession for and making intercession to?

I'll let A.A. answer you, but . . . wow are you ever out of your depth.

MineralMan is the only thoughtful, reasonable atheist I have ever met.

*************

Agreed. His comments on these threads are welcome.

[Petronski]

Holy cow, pa! Them papists is comin' outta the hills now!

[Petronski]

I realize that my comment might have been a bit left handed. I don't mean to imply there are not more thoughtful reasonable atheists; but rather that I hope there are, though I have not met them yet. I did not mean to sound condescending.

[onyx]

I warned him three times. He never once replied to me.
I knew he'd eventually get the boot, but I did not hit abuse on him.

[Petronski]

He got banned? Hmmph. I thought it would last longer than that.
