Hundreds of people flocked to a small town in Missouri this week and last to see a Black nun whose body has barely decomposed since 2019. Some say it’s a sign of holiness in Catholicism,
Visitors were allowed to touch her, Dawson said, adding that the nuns “wanted to make her accessible to the public ... because in real life, she was always accessible to people.”
The monastery said in a statement that Lancaster’s body will be placed in a glass shrine in their church on Monday. Visitors will still be able to see her body and take dirt from her grave, but they won’t be able to touch her.
Rebecca George, an anthropology instructor at Western Carolina University in North Carolina, said the body’s lack of decomposition might not be as rare as people are expecting.
What I want to know is, the people taking dirt from her grave, what are they planning to do with it?
and most of those kids live in the big dem city.A real miracle would be getting half the kids in Missouri reading at grade level.
Create Eve 2.0, then take one of her ribs, and create Adam 2.0?What I want to know is, the people taking dirt from her grave, what are they planning to do with it?
Not a miracle. No such thing as miracles.Thoughts?

Just off the top of your head, would you guess kids in city schools do better or worse than kids in rural counties?and most of those kids live in the big dem city.
I don't understand why some people are so quick to accept something as a "miracle."Even the Catholic church agrees. Apparently five years is the minimum for the "miracle of incorruptibility"
Looking at her picture, I see her hands are quite "corrupted" but her face is mostly OK. I think we're witnessing the miracle of moisturizer here.
Don't know, just know there are more kids in the city so making up half the kids in Missouri seems to make more sense.Just off the top of your head, would you guess kids in city schools do better or worse than kids in rural counties?
They've been programmed since birth.I don't understand why some people are so quick to accept something as a "miracle."
Population of Missouri- 6.something million.Don't know, just know there are more kids in the city so making up half the kids in Missouri seems to make more sense.
Indeed. That's one reason why religion (and religious delusion) persists too.They've been programmed since birth.
"Get them while they're young." doesn't apply strictly to catholics...Indeed. That's one reason why religion (and religious delusion) persists too.
I think Rebecca George is more likely correct than the church.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/missouri-nun-wilhemina-lancaster-exhumed-pilgrimage/

Is this a "miracle"?
What kind of mess-up crap is this?
-or-
Thoughts?
I think that's a general religious motto."Get them while they're young." doesn't apply strictly to catholics...
That would be "playing god," right?Create Eve 2.0, then take one of her ribs, and create Adam 2.0?

Why do some people have this irrational need to believe in miracles or accept unusual circumstances as "miracles," no questions asked? Is it due to ignorance? Or to psychological/emotional fragility?
