Default Re: Dear Christians: why doesn\'t god DO something?

On St. Catherine Laboure:

The Miraculous Medal visionary, St Catherine Laboure, has been considered to be among the incorruptibles and her body is still on display today. Some Catholic sources say that St Catherine Laboure was embalmed. Embalming could have been done and forgotten about. In Catherine’s case, the hands completely rotted away and had to be replaced by wax hands indicating that her preservation is no miracle and she probably was embalmed. If you look at the photos which have not been retouched of the corpse of Catherine Laboure in the book, St Catherine Laboure and the Miraculous Medal you will see she had a shrunken face and was very old looking. Yet the picture of her corpse has fresh full features with eyes open and excellent skin and she looks like a woman of 35. Either the body is a wax figure or her body has disintegrated a bit and has had to be repaired with wax.

On St. Bernadette, an autopsy has never been performed to determine if the body was enbalmed.

On the so-called incorrupt bodies in general, many of the bodies get black and hard and some parts of them rot. The alleged miracle of incorruptibility seem thus an affront to God for it attributes half-miracles to him.
