Cardinal Bergoglio was involved in declaring this a miracle?

Why doesn't that give me warm fuzzies?

I have heard of "miracles" in protestant sects, in Pagan sects, in Islam, in modern Judaism. Obviously, none of them were "Eucharistic miracles", but many religions claim to have miracles.

I don't know what to think other than the fact that these modern-day "Eucharistic miracles" don't seem to be re-invigorating any faith in the Real Presence on any wide--or even narrow--scale and the people who discover the miracles seem to take the opportunity to bask in the spotlight of fame for a time not unlike the housewife who sees Jesus in a pancake or something like that.

Something just doesn't feel right about them.

The mystery centers on a consecrated host that the Rev. John Echert of St. Augustine Church said fell to the floor last month during Holy Communion and turned “blood red” after being placed in a cup filled with water. It has yet to fully dissolve, he said.

“It was notable enough that, clearly, it was some phenomenon and not the ordinary way in which a host would dissolve…that we’re familiar with,” Echert said.

The archdiocese, which now has the host, is taking a “very cautious stance on the matter,” spokesman Dennis McGrath said.

“I make no claims, and the archdiocese makes no claims, as to the likelihood of this being supernatural,” Echert said. “But it is enough of a phenomenon, or unusual, that we will continue to examine this host.”

He added: “I’ve never in my 24 years as a priest seen or been aware of a phenomenon where a consecrated host placed in water turns to this bright-colored red and continues in what I would call the blood-red color.”

Jesus is calling on us to believe in his Eucharistic Presence. We have to listen.

How to create a fake Eucharistic miracle:

1. Have either a gullible priest who went along with it OR a sociopathic priest who created this forgery for power/recognition/more parishioners.
2. Have either a few gullible parishioners who are so desperate to feel anything at 'mass' that they believe they saw a miracle, OR have a few sociopathic parishioners who said they saw a miracle for some asinine purpose.
3. Have the rest of the parishioners buy into the miracle, they already bought into the bogus NO sect, so its not hard for them
4. Have church authorities whose job is to find and verify miracles buy into the fake miracle- as there are no real miracles in the NO sect, they would be out of a job without some miracles. So they exaggerate and sensationalize steps 1-3.
5. You have a miracle

And remember it was Satan who set up the counter-church, Satan is guiding all these steps so they come into fruition, and with every fake NO miracle more people lose their souls, as more people enter this fake church and almost all, if not all will sadly lose their souls.
