At a healing service in October 1995, he and a dozen church members were praying to her [Faustina]
Something positive to think about.

Let me get this straight; you think it is a positive thing when people idolize other people?!!?

So what is your take on what happened?

a. It didn't really happen. It was an illusion.

b. The Devil did it.

c. The doctor was in cahoots with the pope,

d. It was a coincidence.

e. He is only in remission.

f. The reporter was making it up to sell newspapers.

g. All of the above.

Yes, I think it is a positive thing when anyone gets a healing from a serious condition that medical science cannot explain.

Lots of things happen like this for catholics. In proportion to the overall rate of sickness, they are few and far between. Protestants also get healed and their prayers answered in a dramatic way sometimes, but I haven't seen one written up in a major newspaper for a very long time. Off the top of my head, I can't think of one instance.

What is the root of your attitude:

a. Jealousy.

b. Legalism.

c. Hatred because they do it a little differently.

d. Sour grapes.

No one said anything about idolizing other people. Prayer to the Saints requesting their intercession on our behalf with the one mediator, Jesus Christ, is Scriptural.

Sigh. When my wife gets PMS, I just give her a chainsaw and the cat.
