“I don’t know if this type of healing will receive official recognition,” says book author Randall Meissen, “but it can’t hurt to praise God in face of such a cure.”

The title of this news article is poorly worded. The story, on the other hand, is very powerful. Looking forward to JPII's beatification.

I don’t know if this type of healing will receive official recognition ...

Probably not, because Crohn's Disease is diagnosed symptomatically, rather than with specific physical pathology. There would not be the type of visible before-and-after medical records that are involved in authenticating a miraculous healing "for publication" as it were. Nonetheless, the man's restored health is an inspiring testimony to his faith and love.

So, I didn’t read the posts deleted, but . . .

I’m EO, not RC. Even I know the headline should be “Spanish man healed by God after touching JPII’s ‘hat’.” I would replace “hat” with whatever that thing is called.

Saying he was cured by JPII’s hat is not just a bad headline, it’s heretical by RC standards. It will make Prots think all the wrong dumb things they have been taught about RCs (and EOs, or that matter) are true.

ok, I’m Catholic and living in Pope JPII’s homeland (I’m not Polish though) — there is a bit too much about the Pope’s rise to sainthood. I believe he is a saint and a great model for the faith — especially in his last years when you see a sick and physically tired Pope walking on (and I truly believe that in the last years it was Jesus carrying the Pope), but this is too much hoopla, imho (feel free to disagree with me civilly and I’m ready to admit I’m wrong — fellow Catholic and other Christian brethern)
