Facebook Is Now Fact Checking Eucharistic Miracles

“Facebook is inserting itself into Church affairs for no good reason.” Nailed. It.

This story isn’t about my religion. It’s about Facebook’s inserting itself into my religion.

Items of note:
1. The picture posted is NOT the picture from Ireland, but another – though mistaken – “Eucharistic miracle”. Someone just used a picture to go with the story, not a picture FROM the story.

2. The Church doesn’t just celebrate every “miracle” as if it were true. There are strict testing guidelines before a miracle is proclaimed. Many times, these events are not miraculous, even though people may think so.

3. The Church has barely begun investigating the event in Ireland yet, so no determination of “miraculous” has even begun to happen.

4. Last, but not least, why in heckfahr is FB trying to determine whether an event is a sacred miracle? The folks there wouldn’t recognize “sacred,” “holy,” or “miraculous” if it slapped ’em in the face. And it should. Because they need it.

5. I don’t need FB to inform me, protect me, or guide me on anything relating to my religion. They don’t know my faith, understand my faith, or respect my faith. The fact that they think they can tell me anything about my beliefs is…utter hubris.

116 MHarper – way back 3/4ths of the way thru the last century, my very first nite working in Surgical ICU, I had only 1 patient. He had a partially dissecting abdominal aortic aneurysm and was on IV medication to keep his blood pressure up enough to get oxygen to all the needful places, but not so high as to… Read more »

Tim’s aneurysm is on the abdominal aorta — when you see the word aorta, you think of the heart, the chest.  At least, if you took some biology classes, you do. My husband had one, found almost accidentally when he was getting scanned for something else in the abdomen. His was small, and he died from other ailments before reaching… Read more »

We’ll just pray that the surgeons are successful in repairing the aneurysm, and there are no persisting after-effects… at least that’s what I’m praying – that, and for peace for Gail during the procedure…

#108 Bsue From what I recall, he has an aneurysm – and if I recall correctly, it’s on the biggest artery in the human body- the aorta. Thanks for the update.

#106 – Abuck… From what I recall, he has an aneurysm – and if I recall correctly, it’s on the biggest artery in the human body- the aorta. Kinda like having a ballooning spot on the inner-tube of your unicycle tire (if unicycles carried your blood thru to vital things like heart, brain, body…)

I think the government is lying.

Hiding about 50 more million ducks.

 

Suddenly it all becomes clear. Its the ducks. The ducks are doing it. Fifty million of them hiding in the shadows, killing the chickens and the turkeys.

Need you to weigh in on what Monkey Werx just said about NASA and DARPA.

It is right at the beginning of presentation so you won’t have to wait too long.
