seeder Posted November 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2015 A gift from God: Family credits miraculous shrinking of baby's head tumour to a kiss from the Pope Pope Francis kissed one-year-old Gianna in September, during a papal procession in Philadelphia A comparison of Gianna's MRIs from August and November shows a noticeable difference The toddler has a sibling named Dominic -- and the first name of the bodyguard who hoisted the girl up during the kiss is Domenico The Masciantonios have reportedly credited this as divine intervention http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3329747/I-think-God-Family-believes-Pope-s-kiss-head-helped-shrink-baby-girl-s-brain-tumor.html#ixzz3sKrFsGSo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davros of Skaro Posted November 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I wish this family well, but jumping to unproven miracles is counterproductive and only serves false hope.

Popular Post Gary Meadows Posted November 23, 2015 Popular Post #3 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Well if this is true, then the Pope is actually responsible for thousands of cancer deaths per year, by not kissing them better. Tsk tsk Pope. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz_Light_Year Posted November 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2015 In the RCC you have to have at least two miracles to attributed to you so you can become a Saint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nuclear Wessel Posted November 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I am sure that the medical procedures that the young boy underwent had absolutely nothing to do with the tumor's decrease in size. All credit goes to the Pope's divine lips. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashyne Posted November 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Who needs doctors and physicians when popes and priests can cure diseases with so little effort- just singing songs and praying all day long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikko-kun Posted November 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 24, 2015 You can heal people that way too. Not that it might always succeed. It's what you folk call placebo, if it's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Smoke aLot Posted November 24, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 24, 2015 You can heal people that way too. Not that it might always succeed. It's what you folk call placebo, if it's that. In a book written by Joseph Murphy he mention many cases of successfully helping people only by suggestions, well, it suits the name of the book '' power of subconscious mind '' but interesting read it is, i am glad i have read it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podo Posted November 24, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 24, 2015 No, he didn't. The pope isn't a healer, kisses and prayer don't cure cancer, and anyone who believes otherwise is dangerously deluded. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted November 24, 2015 #13 Share Posted November 24, 2015 In the RCC you have to have at least two miracles to attributed to you so you can become a Saint. One miracle down, one miracle to go. @ everyone else.... Is there proof the Pope did NOT cause the healing? Nope! All you can say is that there is no scientific reason for such to have happened. But, in the defense of science, correlation, even if it appears directly related, is not causation. Unfortunately miraculous healings don't have a tenancy to be lab repeatable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernal Gnu Posted November 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Wait a minute, the pope says HE HIMSELF is in declining health. He had a lung removed when he was a teenager in Argentina after suffering an infection. Why can't he kiss himself and miraculously regenerate his own missing lung?
