Catholic Priest Convert To Islam by bakandow11: 12:20am On Oct 12, 2014
The 87-year old priest from Spain has lived and preached on the island for more then 43 years and is fluent in Javanese and various dialects of the different ethnic groups of the island and is a well known and respected figure amongst all religious groups of the area.

The man who has suffered a cardiac arrest while helping local volunteers to fix the roof of his own church and fell an incredible two stories high has managed to survive and come out of his coma, in brittle shape, yet a changed man.


“I know nothing of Islam. Never once have I read the Quran but God spoke to me and asked me to follow him to the heavens and the Holy light shone through my entire being and behold the golden gates of heaven appeared before me and God told me his name and it was Allah” told the newly convert to a journalist of the Kalimantan Press.

The man who miraculously suffers no spinal injury should be able to walk soon, admits the physician who took care of him at South Jakarta’s Metropolitan Medical Centre. “This must be the strongest 80-year old I have ever seen. His bones should be smashed to pieces” ponders Jim Won May, who has practiced medecine for over twenty years.

His conversion to Islam took most of his church followers by surprise, but interestingly enough, already half of his christian followers have showed interest in converting to Islam. “If Allah is the true God, I don’t want to be misled in the wrong direction on judgement day. I trust Father Eduardo. We all believe in him” explains one of his followers.

The priest who is still under medical attention has already ordered the construction of a new mosque and his followers are already hard at work to find the funds necessary for the task. “We owe it to Father Eduardo for all he has done for us” comments one of the devotees of the old catholic church, that is now for sale.

OP where is your source?
Re: Catholic Priest Convert To Islam by EvilBrain1(m): 1:40am On Oct 12, 2014
There is no source so this story probably came out of OP's ynash, yet there are still serious problem with it.

An 87 year old man suffered high energy trauma and lost consciousness meaning he's suffered a traumatic brain injury. Then he wakes up and starts espousing a religion he knows nothing about and your first response if "alhamdulilahi"? If it was your father or your uncle, shey you wouldn't immediately demand for a brain CT or MRI scan to find out what problem has caused such a sudden change in character before it causes him to slip back into unconsciousness and die?

And what does it say about Islam that it takes brain damage to convince someone to convert to it?

Story for the gods.
Tell me another.
Beth come when anyone converts to Islam its always like a hot news. I pity such people though. If this story is true (of course we know its not) then the priest has never been a christian in the first place.

1 John 5:20 (New Living Translation)
And we know that the Son of God has come,
and he has given us understanding so that
we can know the true God. And now we live
in fellowship with the true God because we
live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ.
He is the only true God, and he is eternal
life
. for. me the bolded settles it, at my age I can't be
deceived. If the priest like make he bring selfie
wey he snap with 'all*h', it doesn't change a
thing.

For one, the report is most likely false as the website claims. Two, faith is in Jesus, should be in Jesus foundationally, not in people's experiences.

Utusan apologises over fake Catholic priest conversion story
by dina murad


PETALING JAYA: Utusan Malaysia has posted a public apology on its website over a fake story about a Catholic priest who converted to Islam after waking from a coma.

“A report taken from the World News Daily Report regarding a catholic priest from Spain, Eduardo Vincenzo Maria Gomez, 87, converting to Islam after 17 months in a coma is untrue. Utusan apologises for any inconvenience and confusion following the publication of news emanating from the site,” the daily posted on its website, Sunday.

Utusan ran a story earlier Sunday, based on a report in English language satire website World News Daily Report, of a Spanish priest residing in Java, Indonesia, who had converted to Islam after “speaking with Allah and having been shown the beauty of heaven”.

The priest, said to be suffering from heart disease, had apparently slipped into a coma after falling from the second story of his church. However, he had miraculously survived without having broken any bones.

The report was taken down from Utusan Online’s website following public criticism on social media.
