The author claims that from his research, the miracle was visible within a 600 square mile area. Testimonials show that everyone who was there that day saw it. There are no testimonials of people who were on the spot who said they saw nothing. Reading other testimonials confirms this. Remember, THOUSANDS of pages of testimonials were reviewed by the Catholic Church over 13 years. And as I already mentioned, the book I mentioned gives many examples of people that were NOT believers and who went to the site to mock the whole idea. They left as believers. You should really get the book because everything you are saying is covered in it.
The Author is wrong on all accounts. Theologian Lisa Schwebel said that not all present saw the phenomenon. So that already discounts the fact that testimonials show that everyone who was there that day saw it. And I've yet to find anywhere that says people within 600 square miles saw it. Not to mention the fact that just about everyone on earth should have been able to see it (at least where it's day time) BECAUSE WE ALL SEE THE EXACT SAME SUN. And it should have been in the astrological record, but wasn't.
If the Author is going to lie about there being no testimonials where people saw nothing, then the author is going to lie about anything else--especially the presence of non-believer who left as believers. So i don't think I'll be checking said book out.
And you'll have to excuse me for not buying what a church who has long covered up for pedophile priests has to say.
Ah, but you see, this was a special Catholic sun that only Catholics could see.
The rest of us aren't worthy.
