justfran Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 ...to this story about the Jesuit priests who survived the Hiroshima bombing because they prayed the Rosary everyday or something? I've heard that they recounted their experiences during the Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia 1976 or something. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qfnol31 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 One of St. Maximilian Kolbe's communities survived just because of it's location, but still a miracle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfran Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Well probably one of the more trustworthy sources I've found is [url="http://www.medjugorje.org/echo/e120.pdf"]this one[/url], but it only mentions it with a reference to where they got it from, no more.

justfran Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 I'm still really cynical about it...I dunno. The link to the Fr's speech didn't work, and apparently people are telling different versions of the story, some say there were eight priests, some say there were four...

StColette Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 The story itself is completely true ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfran Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 (edited) I'm not sure about the reliability of this site (after all, it is someone's personal webspace, and he's anti-Catholic, so be careful about what you read there) [url="http://sxws.com/charis/mary25.htm"]http://sxws.com/charis/mary25.htm[/url] But he does point out some inconsistencies btwn accounts, eg. some sites say that over half a million people died but the people at Hiroshima's A-Bomb Museum say the population at the time was about half as much.

StColette Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 well there first thing that ought to tip you off that the site isn't reliable is the fact that the person is "anti-Catholic" which gives the go ahead to assume that he is "anti-Mary" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfran Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 (edited) I know that, that's why i said be careful what you read....just note the inconsistencies between accounts... also, when i look up sites like ewtn, CIN, Catholic.com, Catholic.Org, there's no mention of it. That's why I'm kinda cynical Edited July 26, 2004 by justfran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfran Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 vatican.va doesn't mention anything either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
