They want to turn him into a saint, in order to do this he has had to have performed a miracle. They now claim that his dead body somehow cured a French nun of Parkinson’s disease. Now I don’t with to disrespect anyone’s faith but this is balderdash.

*gasps*
10 hail mary's for you!

@Toohey Said

...and 5 "how's your fathers"?

@xRuby_Kissesx Said

I don't know I haven't seen him in years!

@Toohey Said

Well if I run into him I'll say your asking after him.

@fitzyp Said

If you suspend all sceptical thinking, it isn't so hard to believe.

@Toohey Said

...and if you ignore everything we know about science.

@fitzyp Said

Exactly! Now you're not thinking

@jmo Said

Tbf if you already believe in God then the former Pope's body having magical powers isn't that much of a leap of faith.

@Toohey Said

True, but you'd have to wonder doesn't anyone stop to think...how did his dead body do this??

In John Paul's case, a 49-year-old French nun, Sister Marie Simon-Pierre Normand, said she and her fellow nuns prayed for the intercession of the pope after his death to cure her from Parkinson's Disease.

Her sudden cure had no logical medical explanation and she later resumed her work as a maternity nurse, the Vatican says.

There have been reports that Sister Marie has fallen ill again since her recovery and that her diagnosis with Parkinson's Disease may have been incorrect.
