edit: to be balanced though, catholics should be forced to say miracles are pretend too (",)

AtomSmasher:
Miracles are not the same because for the most part the events they call miracles actually happened, its just a matter of calling it a miracle or a lucky coincidence.

Also, religious discusions should go into the Politics and Religion section.  You probably would of been safe before your edit, but you explicitly called the catholic faith into question.

danny_galaga:

true. but some miracles are covered by consumer laws.

im sure a mod will shift this soon enough (",)

lol, fair enough, but I doubt that miracle water and prayer rocks are sanctioned by the catholic church  :P

*edit* reading more of the article I see the church has recognized several miracles at the spring itself, and the website made the leap that it must mean the water from the spring is miracle water.

Lol, I like their indignation in this:

--- Quote ---They say the new rules will shift the responsibility of proving they are not frauds from prosecutors and onto them.

What, you first need to prove that your treatment is actually doing something? That's just such a bizarre concept. What will they think of next. So unfair  ::)

In the Netherlands in April, the medical profession set itself stricter rules regarding alternative medicine. Not sure how much good that does. I doubt "healers" are even a member since they are not doctors anyway.

The justice department is being forced into suing a "spiritual healer" who killed someone by telling her not to take chemotherapy to cure her breast cancer. The healer "felt" that it was just an infection and that the doctors were wrong. In the healer's defense, the patient had already asked for a fourth opinion (which all said she had breast cancer) so she just didn't want to listen to reason too.
