I, Leo Volont, and anyone else who wishes to will be posting a small sampling of the numerous miracles that the Catholic Church claims and stands by. As these miracles often fly in the face of Protestant theology, I'd say they pose a real danger to said theology and must be refuted adequately. (Note: If you need more information, Google is your freind.)
"When Amsterdam (which means Miracle Town) was just a fishing village with a few huts, there was a Catholic who had the flu and was too sick to go to Mass. Well, this guy used to go to Mass everyday, and so the Priest was thoughtful enough to bring him a Host.
He 'communicates' (eats) the Host but his stomach is still so upset that he vomits it into the fireplace. Later that evening his wife starts a fire, and, wonder of wonders, there riding above the flames like a surfer on a wave is the Host, made whole again. They call the Priest and he is amazed and decides to take it back to the Church.
The next day the Host was gone from the Church, and guess what? It was flame surfing again. Remember it is only a little cracker but it was riding the flame without being burnt. The Priest comes and takes it back the Church.
Third Day, same thing.
So the Priest decides that there should be a big public Procession. Everyone in the district is informed of the situation and gets to see it, and then there is a major Procession. It makes the little fishing villiage famous. This was about in the eleventh Century. For almost five hundred years they have the Procession with the Same Host. Then the Reformation slams down hard and they destroy the Host. From then on they still had the Procession, what few Catholics survived the slaughters, but they began calling it the Silent Procession because they were forbidden by law to mention why they were marching."
