[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of us that are Catholic believe these are parables and not actual real stories.

What’s wild is the incorruptible?

Incorruptibility is a Roman Catholic belief that certain saints' bodies, due to divine intervention, partially or completely avoid the natural decomposition process after death, acting as a sign of holiness. Examples include St. Bernadette of Lourdes, St. Catherine Labouré, St. Vincent de Paul, and St. Padre Pio.

There’s a book on it. I think it’s called the incorruptible.[/quote]

Don't be so gullible. Many of the ones you mention use wax, silicone, and silver masks to cover over the natural discoloration and decay that has occurred.

There are ample reasons for natural preservation: Airtight lead coffins, dry vaults, or extremely cold soil inhibit the bacteria responsible for putrefaction and body fat turns into a soap-like wax in specific moist/alkaline conditions, preserving the shape of the features. These are just a small sample of those where environmental luck favored preservation.[/quote]

I repeat... most of us Catholics think these are parables... did you miss the ... "what is wild"

Come on man. Relax.

I get it some people believe a statue cries, most of us do not. [/quote]

Turning water into wine, virgin births, sending demons into hundreds of pigs are all mere "parables," but Jesus being the son of god, and dying and being resurrected for your sins is a true story?  :roll: [/quote]

It's all parables, Im not eating flesh when I get communion either.

You are as crazy as the religious people who take it literally [/quote]
