I just came to this thread to let the OP know that it cannot be considered a "Catholic miracle" unless the Church approves of it. If you want to conclude that I'm intellectually lazy without barely knowing anything about me and what I have and have not done, seen, and gone through, then go at it I guess.
I don't know much about you, true. But, regarding your revelation, you sure don't make it easy for anyone to believe that you did witness a divine miracle. Usually, such vagueness is due to the fact that revealing enough details would just give your experience away as just a mere interesting coincidence or a flawed perception (shared by two fallible human beings in that specific moment) of what went on.

Again, I'm not trying to.
Some of you seem to think that all us theists are bound and determined to debate with you and convince you to believe what we believe. Go back and read all 5ish or so posts I made on this thread. Not a single one was about trying to prove anything to anyone, except to inform the OP what he posted is not a "Catholic Miracle." Which is true.
I couldn't care less if strangers on the internet believe the same stuff I believe, and I couldn't care less about trying to convince you otherwise . You, on the other hand, sure seem to though.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
