Dust To dust not for.....The Incorruptible Body Wilhelmina Lancaster

The Life of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster | EWTN News In Depth June 2, 2023

The Incorruptibles are saints whose bodies are miraculously preserved after death, defying the normal process of decomposition. St. Cecilia is probably the first saint known to be incorrupt, but the bodies of these saints can be found in many places throughout the world. 

They are not like mummies, for their skin is soft and their limbs pliable, nothing at all like the dry, skeletal remains of mummies. Under usual circumstances, nothing at all has been done to preserve the bodies of these saints. In fact, some of them have been covered in quicklime, which should have easily destroyed any human remains, yet it has no effect of these saints. Many of them also give off a sweet, unearthly odor, and others produce blood or oils that defy any scientific explanation.

Modern science relegates the incorruptibles to the status of mummies, pretending it understands and can comfortably categorize these saints. How then do the scientists explain the fact that a year and a half after the death of St. Francis Xavier, a medical examiner placed a finger into one of the saint’s wounds and found fresh blood on his finger when he withdrew it? Or that when a finger was amputated from St. John of the Cross several months after his death, it was immediately observed that blood began to flow from the wound? Or the case of St. Nicholas of Tolentino, whose arms have frequently bled over the last 400 years

Yes, I heard about this sista.

 

 

 

Or that when a finger was amputated from St. John of the Cross several months after his death, it was immediately observed that blood began to flow from the wound?

They cut off his finger only a few MONTHS after he "died"?
Brutha might have been only in a COMA but still alive and they just didn't know it at that time!

I scanned the article I do not believe for a second.

 

"The Incorruptibles remains the acknowledged classic on the bodies of saints that did not undergo decomposition after death. Many remained fresh and flexible for years, or even centuries."

 

Centuries please!

 

"St. Nicholas of Tolentino, whose arms have frequently bled over the last 400 years?"

 

No.

 

"when a finger was amputated from St. John of the Cross several months after his death, it was immediately observed that blood began to flow from the wound?" 

 

Nope, don't believe this either.

 

You can't believe most of the stuff on the web.

 

I just watched the video and I don't believe it either. Why do they have her "body" just sprawled out on a cafeteria table letting any mope handle her?
