Catholics and the supernatural

[zorkan]

As I like a bit of the supernatural myself, we (the lapsed Catholics) now need to be on our guard.

No more apparitions, weeping Madonna's, miracles of the sky unless verified by the pope.
What next? No more incarnation, creed, mystery of the Eucharist?

Or could it be just the age we're now living in is a touch more sceptical?
Is the Catholic church, like Jesus, on toast?

That was an interesting article. I wonder how long it will be before the Catholic Church becomes the Catholic Club?

Catholic church is a social club.
Only Catholics can sample the body and blood of X from being plain bread and wine only a minute or so before.
Non Catholics are told not to come to the communion.
Cannibalism is still alive and well.

Catholics also worship the Black Madonna.
But how many know why?
"Concerning why is she black--in Aramaic the language of Jesus--black means 'sorrowful'. It is a language of idioms. This links the Blessed Mother to Isis who was called 'sorrowing' in her search for Osiris."

Gerald Massey knew a thing or two.
He was the author of Ancient Egypt Light of the World.
