Hilarious -- THIS post by Dr. Eckleburg where she says that "From this Roman Catholic website comes a new twist in "Who's on the Crucifix Today? --> the "Roman Catholic website" is http://www.crystalinks.com/, a UFO-sighting website. The lady who owns it is a Jewish psychic (she will do a psychic reading for you over the phone for $150 prepaid) from Brooklyn who believes that she has been “beamed up” into a UFO and orbitted the Earth. She converses every day with an “entity” she calls “Z”.

So, FK, now do you see why we laugh when we see a BLOG stated to be a "Vatican approved website"

It’s always a treat to be sent to a website that is so out there that you don’t even need to embellish anything to show how bizarre it is. Ellie Crystal appears to be a full-blown lunatic and I was amazed that someone would even consider offering her as a credible source.

Is there a “legion of Mary” that's approved of by your church?

Thank you for the link and I did check out the earlier website in question. However, I really did not see it as a laughing matter. While the website does appear to be run by some woman whose cheese has slipped off the cracker, that fact is irrelevant to the page Dr. E. linked to. That page appeared to contain various news accounts from organizations such as the AP, CBS, and the BBC, all describing various sightings all around the world by Catholics claiming to have seen bleeding statues. The stories also described the profound significance that these "events" had to the Catholic witnesses.

Therefore, the credibility of the woman running the website, for these purposes, is irrelevant. The question is whether these were actually news stories run by commonly accepted news organizations. If they were, then I would suggest that the proper scrutiny here would fall on those who were making all the fuss about the weeping statues, not on the crazy woman who cut and pasted these news accounts onto her website. The thing to worry about is not whether this site is Vatican approved, but whether it is true that Catholics all over the world really are turning handsprings over these purported "miracles". If that really is true, then that spaceship might need to make some extra room. :)
