Dear Popehead....Thank you for this wonderful article. I will share with many! I love your topics and writing. God is surely inspiring you. On a personal note, Might you have a senior or sliding scale membership?
I’ll soon be entering the catechumenate and learning of these miracles was a great help in getting me to where I am.
The story of Dr. Ricardo Castañon Gomez may complete that Eastern tradition of using a transformed host to convince an unbeliever. He examined the tissue in the miracle involving the future Pope Francis. Gomez was an atheist, but was convinced of the truth of Christ by what he saw.
You said we live in a world where 1/3 of Catholics don’t believe in the real presence. You then link to an article from the Pew Research Center that is a study of U.S. Catholics. This is an Americanist frame that is probably clouding a lot of your thinking.
On more than one occasion, the Eucharist had the taste of wine. Maybe my senses were playing tricks on me. Or maybe the host, made of flour and water, can change in some way to wine. Jesus did exactly that in his first recorded miracle.
Throughout my life, and on a daily basis, miracles abound. They are subtle, and easily taken for granted if one is not paying attention. In my humble opinion, there are no coincidences. When a confluence of circumstances lead to a miraculous event, most people shrug it off as “what are the odds…?”
Maybe we just need to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is with us always, and loves us perfectly, in spite of none of us worthy.
Hi Again PopeHead.... I would love to read everything you have written...I just discovered you last month....You are using God's gift to educate us. My question was : I'm wondering if you would accept less than the $10/month subscription fee.
I have been in awe of this miracle since I first learned of it about 5 years ago. I have a few questions regarding this myself.
Why is not the person presently assuming the Chair of Peter, the same person responsible for having it scientifically examined, pointing to that very miracle? This is not something that would become a brief footnote in one's life, regardless of the whatever else happens to one.
Secondly, why hasn't a single person interviewing him these last 10 years asked him pointedly about it? This would force him to confront this and all the world would be made aware. He has never said a word about it. And, yes, some people need that kind of in-the-face miracle.
There are so many miracles that no one has heard of.
I just recently learned about this one: every year, predictably, the blood of St. Januarius liquifies.

Has anyone done a genomic sequencing of the miracles? If two of them matched it would be pretty irrefutable.

Do you think that the host offered during the Lord's supper the week before his death was wine and bread or was it actual human flesh and blood?
