Maybe..But citing Religious Life as the reason why the bodies has refused to decompose is nothing but stupidty of the highest order

Janetozi: exactly. Throughout my yr in catholic, it is only apparition of Mary that i do hear. What of apparition of Jesus?

This is just to show who they are really serving. They can mention hundreds and more names of Mary eg mother must pure, virgin must powerful, mother of diviners mercy etc. but just tell them to give u few names of Jesus they can't do it.

They can even pray without mentioning the name of Jesus throughout.

For u a non catholic, if u dare make a derogatory remark about Mary, they will eat but u can go free if it is Jesus u make a derogatory remark about.

The bible warning: do not bow bow to grave image is not for them, that show their idolatry. Image of Mary every where and devil is happy with them.

So what reason can you give to the phenomenon of incorrupt bodies? You have discounted one reason so I assume you must have another proposition.

Elebiju: maybe this won't make you proud

THE TRUTH ABOUT BERNADETTE SOUBIROUS

The undeniably beautiful 130-year-old body of Bernadette Soubirous is displayed in a purpose-built crystal coffin, housed in a chapel at the abbey where she served as a nun. Her uncannily lifelike visage, clad in nun's robes, is one of the most commonly used illustrations of incorruptible saintswhose bodies never decay. After her death, she was exhumed no less than three times and found to be perfectly intact at each, which makes it seem strange that the lovely face and handsthat are so famous are actually made of wax.Saint Bernadette began her life relatively recently, by saintly standards, growing up in Victorian-era France. The eldest daughter in a poor family, she struggled with ill health her whole life.Her fame began at age 14 in Lourdes, with a series of sightings of a young woman taken to be Virgin Mary, now known as Our Lady of Lourdes. The apparition appeared eighteen separate times, occasionally giving the girl small bits of encouragement, and most famously, pointing her to the source ofthe healing spring waters there. Bernadette reported her sightings, andher appearance as a piously innocent, somewhat simple - not to mention exceptionally pretty - young woman mayhave helped to fuel her reputation and spur on the repetition of her stories.The Lourdes apparition ask for the shrine that was built at the site of thegrotto, which is now one of the most popular Christian pilgrimage spots. It's also a place of miraculous healings, receiving between four and six million visitors annually. The miraculous healings began in Bernadette's lifetime and were credited to the spring water.Although several miracles turned out tobe short-term recoveries or outright hoaxes, many others were confirmed atthe time, and claims continue to this day.Bernadette herself moved away from Lourdes and joined a nunnery in Nevers,where she lived the rest of her life. She died in 1879 of tuberculosis.As part of the canonization process, her body was exhumed three separate times, in 1909, 1919, and finally in 1925, when she was moved to the crystal casket. Her body was pronounced by the church as officially "incorrupt," but it seems the qualifications for that term may have been somewhat lax. In the words of the attending doctor in 1919: "The body is practically mummified,covered with patches of mildew and quite a notable layer of salts, which appear to be calcium salts... The skin has disappeared in some places, but it isstill present on most parts of the body."After a few ribs were removed to be sent to Rome as relics, it was decided that the "blackish color" of her face might be off-putting to pilgrims, and soa "light wax mask" was in order. Her newface and hands were designed by PierreImans, a designer of fashion mannequins in Paris.The body is on display at the Chapel of Saint Gidard at the Sisters of Charity in Nevers. Visitors should remember that this is an active chapel, and a holyplace for many.

SHE WAS MUMMIFIED, USE YOUR SENSES.

FALSIFIED MIRACLES HUH OP?...

ABOUT THE INCORRUPTIBLE CORPSE.. THAT'S ART AT WORK.... SCULPTURED BODIES...

Please note that Satan has a favorite ploy in convincing people that character and morality don't matter, or he will cause people to attack the Roman Catholic faith; because he can't change the truth, he would like to subvert it.

If you belong to the Protestant Church, then here is a question I would like to ask you. Are you a Lutheran? If so who founded your Church? The answer would be Martin Luther or someone after him (in terms of chronology or time). The Roman Catholic Church was formed by Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago and let me tell you that the Protestant movement was made of all once-upon-a-time Catholics. The core of the Roman Catholic Faith is what are called the "7 Sacraments" - Holy Baptism, First Holy Communion (receiving the Body and Blood of Christ for the first time), Confirmation(where the Catholic is formally initiated into the faith), the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony(or marriage), Reconciliation(also called Confession), the Sacrament of Holy Orders(Priesthood), and Extreme Unction(or Anointing of the Sick).

The Seven Sacraments are visible actions and methods, which if done rightly are vehicles of the Holy Spirit, where Jesus personally touches you and releases the power of God into your life. Dear Ethan C, I admire your great learning and research, but I want to tell you that the great Methodist Merlin Carothers, struggled to explain the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in his bestselling books "Prison to Praise" and "Power In Praise". People invariably came to him and told him that they did not feel anything after the BIHS(Baptism in the Holy Spirit) by laying on of hands (by a lay person). This is done by a spiritually qualified Bishop in the Catholic Church and believe me, by after attending the Sacraments you can feel the difference in your life and you have better power and self-control.

Also, please note that today the world has 6,000 denominations of Christianity all emphasizing do what you want (because God loves you anyway) and easy morality, because that is what the world wants to hear-and believe me that is what the gullible youth and adults of these newer age movements are practicing.

We do not worship these saints but we do implore their help in times of need and they provide very effective intercession and at times miracles whenever needed. Please note that for a Saint to become a Saint is no easy task in the Catholic Church. The best brains in the Church meticulously examine a Saint's life and virtues, plus the miracles reported are examined by scientists and medical fraternities to prove that something supernatural has indeed occurred.

Instead of vilifying the Catholic Church (which is a pet ploy of the Protestant movement, and I don't know why - the Protestant movement ended 350 years ago), with schisms(disregarding the authority of the Pope) and heresies(questioning Catholic teachings), I would suggest that everyone reading this article enroll in Adult Catechism, because the magisterium (the teaching authority of the Catholic Church) is made up of Priests, Bishops and Cardinals of spiritual genius who all sit together under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

As Jesus said, "Father I pray that they (my followers) may all be one, just as you and I are one".

May God Bless You all.

cr8v: Op please study the difference between magic and miracles. These are no miracles. The problem I have with the Roman church is that everything about Christianity was turned upside down and sold to Islam who took it a step further. Check the miracles Jesus and the apostles did in the Bible none look anything like these fables called miracles their miracles were directed to human needs and to draw people to God

Are u a kid? Resurrecting of the dead is child's play in my grandfathers shrine. Even my grandfather died and resurrected at 16 different occasion. When you are ready to verify such facts u can meet pm me and not derailing the thread. But mind u I'm a christian so I don't do those stuff.

Just20: I was watching news line last Sunday (27th July, 2014) and a story similar to No.2 was reported. In Lagos, a corpse was exhumed from a 12 year old grave and the lady still appeared fresh. The casket has decayed but the corpse was still intact. The tenants and neighbours were amazed. A doctor was interviewed and he couldn't give any medical or scientific explanation to it. God is real!!!

No wonder you had to leave the Catholic church. You never belonged there in the first place. It's people like you who claimed to be Catholics and yet who made no single attempt to know and understand their faith and as soon as the thorns of other 'new religions' came (as in the parable of the Sower) people like you were squashed. How could you blindly say that Jesus is not venerated, worshiped and adored in the Catholic church? Maybe you should go through the following litany to Sacred Heart of Jesus which just happens to be one of the many ways Our Lord and Saviour, the one and only Lamb of God, is worshiped in the Catholic. After reading this, you ought to go down on your knees and show penitence for blatantly lying against the Mother Church in order to justify your embrace of your current "church."
