Yep...pretty much nothing stupider than a catholic.
You forgot gullible, closed minded and mind bogglingly superstitious.
Some basic stats :
Poor,stupid and manipulated little fruitcake Bernadette Soubirous had her hallucinations at Lourdes between 11 February and 16 July 1858.
According to Wikipedia, an estimated 200 million have visited Lourdes since 1860. The Catholic church has officially recognised a total of 67 cures. None were amputees.
The general rate of spontaneous remission OVERALL is [conservatively] estimated at 1:30,000.which is about 33 per million or 660 per 200million. [conservatively] No amputees.
