I never cease to be amazed at how incredibly credulous people can be. In the news today is a story about a nun who cured a young boy of an eye disease. The Church is so convinced that it happened this way that they are elevating Sister Demjanovich's status to "beatified," only one step below "saint."

Actually, it wasn't the nun who cured him, it was her magic hair, plus an appeal to the supernatural. The reason why the nun couldn't help directly is she had been dead for 34-plus years.
Yet the godlike powers of her hair follicles lived on past her death. Maybe they even got stronger until they burst forth and performed an operation on the pious boy, all without obvious surgery.
Not explained in the article is why it took 50 more years after the "miracle" for it to be recognized by the Church. I guess they were occupied collecting evidence.
I could go on, but it doesn't get any better.
