The boy, Michael Mencer, was given a lock of the nun's hair and prayed to her. The effects of the eye disease soon began to fade, Roman Catholic Church officials say.
C'mon, no mention of any on-going medical treatments that may have worked?
And since this took place in the '60s, why didn't someone pray to stop the VN War and save 58,000 American lives?

If you would like to get in the business of selling bridges, there are plenty of buyers out there, providing you are the Saintly sort.

Most Catholics I know, can take a joke, here on FR, not so much.

I’m puzzled. With all the existing saints, why would someone pray to someone who isn’t yet a saint?

Giving credit to dead nuns when praises should go to God.

It’s strange, unbiblical practices like this that prevent me from ever becoming Catholic. Strange is an understatement.

It is the third in a four-step process toward sainthood.

Being born again is a one step process in sainthood.

All born again believers are saints.
