'The Incorruptibles' * 1
    #18460688 -

is a book about the non-decay or abnormally slow decay of the bodies of Catholic saints. The main case centers around Bernadette Soubirous who allegedly was visited by the Virgin Mary at Lourdes, France (yes, the famous fountain/well).

Here she is looking very life-like after being dead for 135 years:



Not bad at all, except that her hands and face (basically the only visible portions) have been reconstructed in wax to cover the shriveled, discolored and mildewed flesh - oh the wonders of Almighty God!

"Faith-strengthening"

"Wondrous miracles!"

"Proof of God's greatness!"


Nope. Yet more proof of the religious being unable to use the one real wonder, the human brain. Unsurprisingly, the author failed to mention the 'wax mask'. Deceit to keep the audience happy or piss-poor research? Pathetic either way. BTW this is the best and only clear photo in the book. That pretty much seals the deal.

They had those corpses in the vatican.  Many of them were covered/partially covered with masks.  I'm not sure how that speaks to their incorruptibility, but the obviously airtight case was another giveaway that something was amiss.

I was at a mummies exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry the other day and there was some hungarian royalty family that turned up under some church perish or what not.  They didn't look all that alive, but I got the impression that they still must have been exceedingly anatomically correct. :lol:

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Well, when rigor mortis sets in...

It is beyond silly to cover them up. Obviously influenced by wacky religious thinking.

Silly that a Museum dedicated to science, industry and technology would be so spineless in the face of said influence. :lol:

I suspect they don't want to deal with angry parents whose children got more of an education on field day than they bargained for.

Well, since I wasn't there and didn't see it happened, I can conclude that it might as well could have happened. According to the church these things happen to the holy all the time anyway. :courtjester:

I got visited before. It was a sunday I think. A really weird day. I could also fly and teleport myself to another location whenever I wanted on that day. A miracle I tell you.
