Please read up on St. Bernadette and Lourdes.
Mat 24:23-24 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. (24) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Is that wafer in the monstrance Christ? "Look! Here is Christ, or there?" Believe it not.
Gal 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (9) As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Strong words, I know, and I truly wish I did not have to repeat them. But these are the times we live in. There is only one Gospel that can save lost sinners, the Gospel of God's boundless grace, forgiveness in the once for all sacrifice of Jesus. It is our souls that need healing, not our bodies. No, more than just healing. Our souls are dead in sins. It is resurrection we need. Not the washing of the body with water, but the new birth, the making of a new creation in Christ. And though such resurrected lives will surely overflow with a love of doing good, and love to God and others, that life begins, not with good deeds, but with a sovereign act of God, Who calls the undeserving sinner to "come forth" from the stench of his grave of sin, and step into the light of life in Christ. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound ...

I’ve been meaning to reply to you on this. Starting from the foundation of the Catholic Church, it doesn’t believe in the Genesis story as literal history. Yet, that puts the whole Bible to a lie, because both the Old and New Testaments include genealogies, and if Genesis isn’t taken literally, then those genealogies are wrong, making the Bible wrong. I see no reason, either, to doubt God’s Word, which created everything. God created Adam and Eve in the appearance of having lived for years, and so did He create everything else, and He didn’t have to follow the laws of nature as He did so. He could create light before there were any sources for it. He could simply go against the laws of nature at any point too. He was in the burning bush that wasn’t consumed! I came to believe in the Bible as the inspired, inerrant Word of God, with obvious history to be taken as history and metaphor to be taken as metaphor, and I would not trade that understanding for anything. Going to a church that has given up that belief would be losing out on so much to me. I could never do it.
