God’s Favourite Church?
Santa Maria Parish in Buenos Aires claims to have been the site of four1 Eucharistic Miracles between 1992 and 1996. Why so many in this one place? I went to the church to try to find out. One idea commonly proposed is that Eucharistic Miracles occur when someone is doubting the real presence in the […]
The Worst of the Eucharistic Miracles of the World
Let’s start with the worst of the worst. These incidents are not fun to write about, and researching them tends to give me nightmares, but I don’t want to be accused of turning a blind eye to genocide to focus on the amusing stories of science done badly, so buckle up. We’ll begin with Brussels, […]
The Institute of St. Clement I, Pope and Martyr
OK, so the Vatican isn’t responsible for the Eucharistic Miracles of the World collection (EMW). Who is? The author of the original Italian book, and depending on where you look also the English edition, is the Institute of St. Clement I, Pope and Martyr. The institute was founded in the year 2000 by Antonia Acutis […]
Is The Eucharistic Miracles of the World Endorsed by the Vatican?
I’m going to start where most Catholics probably started on Eucharistic Miracles, with the Eucharisic Miracles of the World book, website and exhibition. That’s not where I started, it’s actually a source I’ve immediately dismissed every time I come across it, as it has no references, no indication of where any of the information comes […]
I’m on Substack Now
I’ve decided if I’m going to bother with this blog thing I should try to get as many people to read it as possible, which means playing the big tech game. So I’m trying experimenting with some different social media options. Starting with Substack: https://skeptasmic.substack.com/subscribe I will still be posting everything here as well, and […]
The Famed Eucharistic Miracle of Tixtla Appendices
I haven’t done a deep dive into Tixtla and I’m probably not going to, because there simply isn’t enough information available. But I keep hearing that Ricardo Castanon-Gomez’s book Cronica de un Milagro Eucharistico has all of the information anyone could ever want to scientifically verify a Eucharistic Miracle in the 19 scientific studies in […]
Mouldy Communion Wafers on Youtube
I’m on Youtube now. I’m trying to make something more accessible for the modern world. Just some shorts for now, but I’m working on a longer video(s) for the Eucharistic Miracles of Buenos Aires. Let me know what you think.
Celestin Musekura
The anniversary of the Rwandan genocide reminded me of a paragraph from Ken Ham’s book One Race, One Blood: “Grace victories are often preceded by periods of confusion and setbacks. Celestin is a Hutu from Rwanda. In 1994, Tutsis killed 7 members of his family and 70 members of his church. As a Christian, Celestin, […]
Defining Miracles
During a recent trip to the library, I wound up picking up a copy of Lee Strobel’s The Case for Miracles. It wasn’t what I was looking for, I was looking for a book on eucharistic miracles, but it caught my eye. (Was that a miracle? Or just the nature of the Dewey Decimal System?) […]
