I think it's quite disgusting, to tell you the truth.
Let's say it did happen, that the pope _did_ cure that nun. Why not cure anyone else? Why just the nun? Is it because she is part of the church? I don't want to believe in a god, or pope, that only cure those who suck up to them... it's like all those MPs employing their family at stupid wages to do sweet fuck all.

And let's say it didn't happen, then they're essenchally telling people that medical intervention is secondry to praying and will lead people to avoid medical advice on account of it being against a belief in god.

Peasent minded backwards curruption. Religion isn't what's wrong with this world, I like religion, it's the people who control it who are one of the biggest evils... and I mean the word evil in the biblical sense. If the bible was true, then Jesus and God would be totally against the pope.

Someone who's a bit more religious than I am can probably answer this for me.
So, right, the miracle is being attributed because they prayed to JP2. Doesn't that make them idolaters or heretics or something? I thought you were only supposed to pray to God? It was even one of those commandments.
