The alleged miracle of Lanciano has been bothering me ever since someone used it as 'proof' in an argument
Long story short, some Basilian monk/priest was having doubts about transubstsntiation, and during a service the wine and bread turned into blood and flesh for realsies, gais!!
So the story is obviously bogus and I'd rather not delve too deep into who the flesh being displayed today belonged to or what happened to them (and neither does the Vatican, ofc), but it begs the question...
If the catholics deeply believe that transubstantiation takes place every single service in the literal sense, why is this dubious tourist attraction called a 'miracle'?
Also: what the fuck? Somehow I can't connect the hippie charismatic boy posse leader with ritualistic cannibalism
The jest of the whole shebang is, the fucking WHO allegedly tested this 'miracle' and the report, which is mysteriously MIA basically stated something along the lines of 'science doesn't know, therefore magic fairy dust'*
Oh, catholics... what lengths wouldn't you go to? I swear, sometimes it's like they're mainly trying to convince themselves
*yours truly's liberal interpretation
