Random Stuff

The last few days have been a blur - so much junk going on, it would be difficult to rehash it all, and not very worthwhile.

The upside is that I got a wonderful little email from a guy who is feeling very much drawn towards the Catholic Church, and wants to know what he should do. That's fun.

The cool thing, for me, is that he says he was most drawn by the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano - an 8th Century miracle in which a doubting priest, while celebrating Holy Mass, saw the consecrated host and wine turn into visible flesh and blood.

This miracle is still on display in Italy, and you can go there to see it today.

There was a scientific investigation of the miracle just as recently as 1981, and the results concluded that it really was human flesh and human blood. In fact, the blood type is AB-Negative - "identical to that which Prof. Baima Bollone uncovered in the Holy Shroud of Turin."

God does these miracles for a reason - if only people would take advantage of them. Like I said, this particular miracle is still on display for anyone who wants a proof of the Catholic Church's claims. It's not like God isn't trying.

As usual ... it's Man's will that refuses to bend.
