Bruce S Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) OK, followed the Tounge Link: The Church’s long history of venerating the bodies of the saints fascinates me, perhaps because I believe it answers to a real human need to have tangible reminders of the past around us. The physicality of the Faith, which you encounter in a vivid and even graphic sense in Italy, is a great testament to Her truth. While perhaps somewhat unnerving to modern sensibilities, those golden reliquaries and the dozens of grinning skulls on black marble tombs stand as reminders of the General Resurrection. We will just leave it at... One Catholic "distinctive" that really, really freaks most Protestants out. Veneration of body parts. No thank you. I have Jesus to venerate, I'm sticking with that one. Sorry. Edited January 12, 2004 by Bruce S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Huether Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Picture: Top, the Host made Human Flesh. Bottom: The Wine made Human Blood. Â Â A priest has doubts about the Real Presence; however, when he consecrates the Host it transforms into flesh and blood. Â Â This miracle has undergone extensive scientific examination and can only be explained as a miracle. The flesh is actually cardiac tissue which contains arterioles, veins, and nerve fibers. The blood type as in all other approved Eucharistic miracles is type AB. Histological micrographs are shown. Scientist cannot prove it... Yet still there are those who will rationalize. What does rationalize mean to people? If there is NO proof, scientifically, of how this can ocur, then how can one "rationaliz" what is scientifically proven to be irrational? Are they smarter than a scientist, or group of scientists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce S Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Etymology: Latin veneratus, past participle of venerari, from vener-, venus love, charm -- more at WIN Date: circa 1623 1 : to regard with reverential respect or with admiring deference2 : to honor (as an icon or a relic) with a ritual act of devotion I toured Europe many times, I know what veneration of body parts means, I was there, saw it done, ... and horrors.... Did it. Now I shudder that I got into that dead finger in a case veneration thing. Argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Huether Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 The Lord gave to Imelda Lambertini a special gift at age 9 on the Feast of the Ascension in 1333. While praying, a Host appeared suspended in mid-air in front of her. The priest was called and he gave her Holy Communion. She went into ecstasy and never awakened. She died while receiving her First Holy Communion!   Blessed Imelda’s incorrupt body lies in the church of San Sigismondo near the University of Bologna. Pope St. Pious X named her Protectress of First Holy Communicants.   O Lord, let us die to You daily and receive You in the Eucharist as if it were our last. Let us also become as little children, having that innocent love and complete childlike trust in Your love and mercy.  Eucharistic Miracles by Joan Cruz, 1987, Tan Books and Publishers Santarem, An incrrupt body! And yet some people read this and all they get from it is "ooooooh, veneration. must be bad". Burce, for the Love of our Lord and Savior, have you nothing to say but negativities. You reject his Church. Will you reject his miraculous work. Stop posting, please, unless it is an honest question free of insult (inconspicuous or otherwise).

Bruce S Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 You reject his Church. Will you reject his miraculous work. Stop posting, please, unless it is an honest question free of insult (inconspicuous or otherwise). Uh. Is this forum FOR "Interdenominational Debate" or for agreement that the Catholic Church has all the answers. Come on now. There are MASSIVE "distinctives" in the Catholic Church that just about ALL Protestants will not let 'go' one is Eucharistic ADORATION, to us, that is odd. I know to you, that makes perfect sense. But you have this forum for those who don't agree, so let us disagree. Isn't that why you have it? And veneration of dead bodies, parts of bodies, talk about incorruptions.... Let me tell you, if this were done in a place where LOTS of Protestants hung out, they would have a field day. Trust me on this one. This is so odd to the modern Protestant mind, that it is almost incomprehensible to them. I'm being vastly kinder on this than you would ever get in a real site were the Protetants equalled the number of Catholics. Some of what you just "accept" isn't, and won't be. And that is where you get the charge leveled against the Catholic Church of "cultism"... now again, I state, I PERSONALLY don't believe that, just letting you know how this sort of thing is perceived outside the cozy little world that you live in. Love ya. I posted a neat pic of "Bone Art" from Europe... That one, got "poofed" oh well, you can only prove a point to a certain point, before the trashbin smells of elderberries up the proof offered of the REALITY, not the doctrine, but how things are really done in the trenches. Protestants know about this, and that is what opens you up to some of the blatant slanders that you have to endure. They ARE SLANDERS, unwarranted, but look what brings the jerks out after you. Not doctrine. This stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 We are free to believe or disbelieve this as well. It is not dogma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willguy Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I toured Europe many times, I know what veneration of body parts means, I was there, saw it done, ... and horrors.... Did it. Now I shudder that I got into that dead finger in a case veneration thing. Argh. It's not exclusive to Europe. I went to the Shrine of the North American Martyrs for Mass and afterwards they had veneration of the relics (those guys ROK, BTW). Clyde Convent in Clyde, Missouri has a huge collection of relics. Remember, the bones of Elisha (or was it Elijah, someine in the OT) brought a man back to life. People were taking pieces of Peter's cloak to heal people and perform miracles. It's biblical.

Anna Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 Yes, my phellow Catholics, we are wrong to show honor to any miracles left to Our Church by God. Why, if we would only gather where LOTS of protestants gather, perhaps one of them would give us one of those prayer handkerchiefs. The pastor or someone will pray till he breaks out in a sweat, then wipe his brow, and share the hanky. Miraculous!!! A sweaty hanky! Did GOD make the hanky sweaty? No. Did GOD make the finger incorrupt? Yes. We honor the works of God, not men. Pax Christi. <>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
