Well said, as always Kaleb. And for all those enlightened scientist rationalists out there, perhaps they can study and analyze the bleeding hosts from Cincinnati and elsewhere, with perfect "biological chemistry" and only maternal DNA. Then maybe they, and all the doubting "faithful", whom we should all pray for (and probably weep for) will be convinced that our Lord is indeed truthful and real and nourishing as He told us so explicitly 2000 years ago. God bless you!
Thanks, Al, I appreciate it. If anything, real scientific studies have only given more evidence for the Faith, as with the use of DNA testing for Eucharistic miracles. Science itself is good, and there have always been great Catholic scientists; the real problem is the atheist appropriation of it. Sadly, nowadays most people assume that to be rational or scientific, you can't be religious.
Correct me if I'm wrong Kaleb, but at the time when Pope Francis was still the bishop in Argentina wasn't there a Eucharistic miracle that happened in one of the churches. A priest one morning found a host on the floor. The priest picked up the host and placed it in a vessel of water and after a while the host started to bleed. I don't remember the exact detail but that same host was sent to a US Lab for study and the scientist discovered that it had heart tissue that match the blood from the Shroud of Turin. The scientist who was I believed to be an athiest became Catholic.
Agree, but now that our Lord has proven them wrong by their own devices, I rejoice in the opportunity to at least have the discussion on their terms. To evangelize in their "vernacular" so to speak. To reach those who may be open to a conversation from their perspective.

I remember hearing that too. I think the majority of blood types/DNA/heart tissue found in different places all match. It is amazing.
