Hmmm.
Just another cancer healing. The kind of miracle the Catholic church needs these days is RICO prosecution of serial child abusing priests and the church poobahs that procure them more victims.
Now that would be a goddam miracle.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Hey Minimalist, you seem to be an expert... from which Christian denomination would you say this woman is?

I would say it could be any.
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"

I felt massively angered by the racist Christian Facebook group "Britain First" yesterday, they are fucking disgusting.

17"These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
Or get out of the religion business. They can't pass their own test of religious fealty so having clearly failed at the churchy thing, it's time to move on.
Seems like God would have given them a real easy test, so their failure is very telling.
