Upset about the inability to research miracles

One of the most common “proofs” given by Catholics is the existence of miraculous material items like the shroud of turin and the tilma of Guadalupe.

The claims DO seem intriguing. Science cannot explain either of them, but the problem is that science hasn’t been given a full opportunity.

In both cases, the catholic church has strictly controlled who is allowed to research these items and what gets published. Because of this, we haven’t been able to explore them as much as is necessary.

It just feels so misleading for them to constantly utilize the proof that “secular scientists” give that these items are miraculous. And based on the evidence we have, there isn’t much to refute it. But I think that is because the research on it is limited and differing opinions are stifled.

I just want to know the truth. Regardless of what it points to.

So much harder to be taken seriously when evangelicals make catholics look good

Ok this might be insensitive towards exvangelicals, it is NOT supposed to be. I am so glad I left the catholic church, and I have so many objections to it. I feel like most people right now understand the problem with these evangelical, maga, rapture believing churches that catholicism looks amazing in comparison. It’s like complaining about getting attacked by a cat to a friend who got attacked by a bear.
