May 2008Lourdes' reputation rests on an event 150 years ago when a young shepherd girl said she saw a ghostly figure standing in a cave. The Catholic Church investigated and judged the apparition to be the Virgin Mary. Consequently the sick and the dying began coming to the cave looking for a miracle. The church says it has more than 7000 claims of miracles in its archives. Each is investigated thoroughly and so far sixty-seven miracles have been validated by the church. At Lourdes, Europe correspondent Jane Hutcheon met Tom Doherty who has three big reasons to seek divine intervention. "I've got three children, two with cystic fibrosis and I've got him with Downs Syndrome... the cure's in the water and in the well." Mr Doherty has returned to Lourdes 20 times and says he's 110% convinced that a miracle could cure his sons. This optimism stems from much publicised cases where people say their lives have been changed dramatically. Peadar Clarke, a multiple sclerosis sufferer was given only four years to live back in the 1980's. Until, he says, the Virgin Mary appeared in his hotel room in Lourdes."Our lady was smiling at me, I remember smiling back," Clarke told Hutcheon. "It was when my hands were out that I realised my hands were out and I'm not shaking and I realised I'm standing!"Since then Clarke's fathered two children. He's returned to Lourdes more than 50 times leading other pilgrims in search of divine help.

because Europe is and will always be the continent of the Enlightment where ideas of Humanism are more important that bronze age superstitions and murderous cults like Christianity, Islam, Judaism and many others

mary is appearing and asking us to believe in her son as our Lord and saviour. she is not claiming to be God. according to St Malachy, this Pope Benedict is probably the 2nd last pope before the "end"? thes are fantastic times we live in. we all need to believe in Jesus and ask for forgiveness and salvation and change our lives, and try our best to live according to the word of Jesus. Medjugorje aparitions also contain 10 secrets which will be revealed to the world...we need to love Jesus.

One of the sad products of the `enlightenment` is that the stupidist things are now being said by people who would regard themselves as intelligent.

If curlykasimir visits Lourdes he should visit the Medical Bureau and examine one of the few cases put forward as beyond human explanation. The programme should have examined these. As I said those who do not believe will never believe because they are determined not to believe. To believe would almost be a catastrophe in their lives. But have the humility not to criticise unless you examine the evidence.

what miracles? the girl was delusional.

Why should anyone outside the Catholic Faith believe in Lourdes. But what I say is that the promgramme was biased and led the viewer to believe people who go there are disillusuioned fools. Hans Werzell who wrote the Song of Bernadette and was a Jew put it this way. "Thos those who believe no explanation is necessary, to those who do not no explanation is possible". The Bible teaches the soul live on after death. but there is a final Resurrection of the Body.

Says the moron who only believes what he wants to believe.
