Yes- they admit to the wax coatings, but still, why is that necessary? If God can preserve the bodies for hundreds of years, why the need to protect the incorrupt from "corruption" once discovered? Seems an oxymoron. Or if the bodies are partially corrupted already and they need some "sprucing up", is it truly a miracle any longer?
If incorrupt saints bodies are miraculous evidence of God Himself,  I'm sure the bodies would be perfectly preserved in every way.
Otherwise , just like NO Eucharistic miracles , they become suspect and actually do more harm than good for those looking to believe.

Great post! Yes, why is that necessary? You're one of the few I can count on to post good stuff.

It's probably like makeup for the deceased ... for aesthetic purposes.

Well, I really think we need to see what “incorrupt” looks like without any wax embellishments. Otherwise it could be likened to Madame Tussaud’s.( meaning a lot can be done with wax)

PS - Isn’t this ALL about aesthetics ; the physical appearance of the uncorrupted corpse? Isn’t that the miracle?

I had thought that incorruptibility would mean that the body itself does not decay in itself, but that does not mean outside elements can affect it at all, if I understand correctly.

Indeed, this is why in validated cases of incorruption, the body is kept in a protective case for display, unlike the case on Sr Wilhelmina where any person can touch her. I was trying to make this clear when I wrote about the Servant of God, Eileen O'Connor in Replies 42 and 43.

I understand the case - even a negative pressure and temp controlled glass encasement, but I do not understand the wax.

I'm not sure, but it's probably the same reason that funeral homes put various types of makeup onto the deceased for open-casket funerals or viewing, since some people might have an aversion to the appearance of a body that had not been prepared in such a manner.  If you're coming to a funeral home to pay your respects, I think it would be offputting and disedifying to see the person partially-decomposed, or even just looking bad due to the natural process of death.  So I imagine that's the thinking behind the wax.  If someone is coming to pray before the body of a departed saint, it may not be particularly edifying to see some of the "defects" that might be covered by wax, i.e. if the body appears even slightly repugnant in some way.

I have been to many funerals, and the restoration varies widely.  One elderly man, who had been very sick, looked very, very dead, he was a shade of green.  (I'm assuming he had been embalmed.)  Not pleasant to look at.  When my father passed, he had been ravaged by illness, and just to be blunt, I know too much about what they do in the embalming and restoration process, so I chose not to see him.  There may have been issues, as the funeral director did not challenge my wish not to see him, and agreed that "what you see, you can't unsee".  He had simple crypt-side rites and chose not to have a Requiem Mass, a wish I honored even though I did not agree with it.  (A traditional priest later offered a Requiem Mass for him, which I arranged some time after his death, along with thirty Gregorian Masses offered by Fr Horvath of the SSPX.)  We did not have a visitation or viewing.

Statement from Bishop McKnight regarding the remains of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster

May 26, 2023 | Media Release, News

https://diojeffcity.org/blog/2023/05/26/statement-from-bishop-mcknight-regarding-the-remains-of-sister-wilhelmina-lancaster/

The Most Reverend W. Shawn McKnight, Bishop of Jefferson City, has issued the following statement regarding the remains of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster:

I want to briefly address the interest in our neighboring diocese regarding the mortal remains of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, the foundress of the Benedictine Abbey in Gower, Missouri. Her remains were recently exhumed by the order to be moved to their chapel.

This enthusiasm makes it clear there is a deep hunger in our society for the miraculous — a desire to see the power of God with our own eyes.

But with this excitement comes a need for caution. The Most Reverend James V. Johnston, Bishop of Kansas City — St. Joseph, who has pastoral responsibility for the monastery, has announced he is creating a process to understand the nature of the condition of Sister Wilhelmina’s remains. You can read his message here.

Our Catholic Church has procedures to investigate purported miracles and the causes for sainthood. It is important to remember these processes are slow, prudent efforts.  There has been no declaration of a miracle, nor has the process to consider the cause for canonization of Sr. Wilhelmina Lancaster begun based upon heroic virtues.

For these reasons, and for the concerns of civic authorities for the safety and well-being of visitors, I discourage anyone in the Diocese of Jefferson City from visiting the Benedictine Abbey in Gower, Missouri, or treating the mortal remains of Sister Wilhelmina as relics.

As we pray and wait, I want to again acknowledge the natural desire to experience the miraculous.

If you are feeling this right now, please seek out the Eucharist. The real presence of Christ in our celebration of the Mass and in our reception of His Body and Blood in sacramental communion is the true center of our faith. Everything else is secondary.

Please also seek out sacramental reconciliation and experience the miracle of God’s forgiveness.

These sacraments are available to all of us at our local parish church.

I also join Bishop Johnston in his call inviting everyone to continue their prayers for the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles; for all women religious; and all the baptized in our common vocation to holiness, with hope and trust in the Lord.

This is the novus ordo bishop of the neighboring diocese.

I just stumbled across this video of a protestant man reporting on Sr. Wilhelmina. I found his reactions quite interesting.

Kennedy Hall did a video where he says that the Sisters are now reporting both physical cures and spiritual conversions. They say the cures are being investigated. I knew such reports were inevitable.
