Priest reports possible eucharistic miracle at Connecticut church

On March 5 at the conclusion of Mass, Father Joseph Crowley announced that a eucharistic minister witnessed something unexplainable as he was distributing Communion.

“One of our eucharistic ministers was running out of hosts and suddenly there were more hosts in the ciborium. God just duplicated himself in the ciborium,” an emotional Crowley told the faithful.

“It’s really, really cool when God does these things, and it’s really, really cool when we realize what he’s done, and it just happened today,” the priest said.

“Very powerful, very awesome, very real, very shocking. But also, it happens, and today it happened,” he said.

A Vatican-endorsed exhibit “Eucharistic Miracles of the World,” featuring documentary evidence of 152 such miracles, has visited over 3,000 churches on its international tour. In the 21st century, there have been four eucharistic miracles recognized by the Catholic Church.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

What a pity god can't magic up food for all the hungry people in the world.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Let's be honest, would you rather starve to death or have a diet consisting solely of loaves, fishes, and Jesus-flavoured crackers?

God's miracles are like that. He can feed 5000 people, but can't fix hunger. He can cure a few lepers, but can't eliminate leprosy. He can walk on water, but he can't keep it clean.

Silly old God.

E.J. Pace - Christian Cartoons

Ernest James Pace (1879-1946) was a reverend, artist, missionary, and teacher. He earned his doctorate from Princeton Seminary, so he is a doctor (of theology). He made lots of Christian cartoons to bring closer and encourage Christian theology and life to laypeople. They are still spread around even today on Christian websites, like the website for Biola University. And, according to Biola University, "blessings of these cartoons are incalculable"

So let's see what a blessing they are.

This one clearly shows his stance on evolution - it is a lie that, along with education, leads Christians away from Christianity and into darkness.

[Image: z6K4ukij_o.jpg]

This one is kind of interesting because it shows a rift between so-called old theology that takes the book of Genesis literally vs the new one that tries to tolerate modern science, as well as some other stuff. And it is visible that he is on the side of the old one.

[Image: 4F9VqBKi_o.jpg]

This one teaches people that free will is bad, as it will get you on the wrong path, and that you need to be obedient to what religious leaders order you to do.

[Image: 5eQlQWlo_o.jpg]

Apparently, Central & South America along with Africa and Asia are in darkness because they are not Christians. Interestingly, USSR is not in darkness.

[Image: Xo2NNKgf_o.jpg]

He doubles downs on this one when he calls non-Christian Africans "Inhuman Savages". Not to mention other degenetacity that comes when going to non-christian countries like death, darkness, and constant diseases; Loneliness as those uncivilized non-Christians with their undeveloped brains can not offer any companionship - wonder how Pace himself survived all this when he was a missionary? Maybe it wasn't as bad as he claims.

And this one depicts how not believing in nonsense (miracles, claims in the Bible, atonement, etc.) will lead you into atheism - which is actually correct, but atheism here is again portrayed as darkness, and its leader looks perhaps like Sigmund Freud?

Some old guy standing in front of his home that was destroyed by godmonster with a tornado gives thanks to monster god for saving him from going to heaven

I saw a tv reporter talking to a lady minister in front of the rubble that was formerly her church, tornadic blessing from God, I guess. Then the cow had to open her mouth. "Thank God more people weren't killed." Think

That’s just like saying, thank god that more people weren’t sent to heaven. 

Or to the dirt nap until jebus returns. 

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

I guess I'll leave the photos in my reply.

It's cool seeing how older generations think and their artwork and their fears about hell.
He was a 19th to 20th century men, a time that christianity ruled in the western world.

I think such people don't have an education and are jealous when someone else improves himself.
It is just general human behavior to get jealous.
Also, in christian circles, they discourage each other from learning about science.
So, they just drag each other down.

PURE SELFISHNESS
It is entirely about the self. It is about saving yourself, saving your soul, being jealous, dragging down others to your own uneducated level.
They want to be made in god’s image. The 3 rd step.
They want a perfect and a perfect Bible. 1 st step.

A wise man once said, I prefer to have questions with no answers rather than answers that can’t be questioned.

It is also interesting that after agnosticism, you have atheism.

The reality is that since the 1970s, christianity is slowly losing its grip. Today’s generation is letting go at a much larger rate.

One of the cousins recently took umbrage at "passed on".

"I will die before I 'pass on' like some atheist!" Six pages of text later and I have idea what she meant.
