Should he be beatified ?

#1 Post by Blaze »

Forgive me for being a sceptic, but just how did a 15 year old achieve the miracle cures referred to in this BBC article ?
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd11kyy58dgo

He may well have been a talented young man in his knowledge of computer technology, and a devout believer in the RC teachings. But I find the attributing of the recovery of two people to his on-line influencing hard to swallow.
People near death do occasionally have a "miraculous" recovery, but can these recoveries really be put down to the divine intervention (not even healing hands) of a 15 year old across the ethernet ?

Sometimes things happen in medicine which are unexplainable I don’t think a 15 year old on a computer miles away will be responsible

Let the men in frocks do what they like - this is all PR for a corrupt and failed organisation. As a cradle catholic, I'm damned if I'll apologise to thçose who (still) believe: I believe I know where the bodies are buried.

Marketing - youngsters aren't going to church and the Pope sitting on his pile of gold doesn't want to lose it all. So what better than a handsome 15 year old boy as a 'poster boy' to encourage the young to part with their cash when they're older.
Some might ask, if the young lad was so important to the old guy sitting on a cloud, why did he die so young?

Eloquently put, Char.

What a load of old balony! I concur with all the above, and would say if he was that gifted - how come he couldn't heal himself? I guess that's "not allowed".

Nope, not buying it! :crazy: :lol:

Maybe God had an IT problem he just couldn't get his head around. Lost all the stuff he stored in the cloud perhaps?
