Catholic Church Splattered With Blood And Guts

On Christmas Day 2013, a communion wafer fell to the floor of a Catholic church in Poland. A preacher picked it up and chucked it into a bowl of water and bits of it turned red.

Catholics can be pretty stupid sometimes. For example, they truly believe that the communion wafer literally turns into the flesh of Jesus. (Yes, literally !) 

So this preacher decided the red stain must have been the blood of Jesus.

That bears out the accuracy of my claim that Catholics are stupid - because the Church teaches that it is the communion wine that turns into the blood of Jesus, not the wafer!

Anyway, in February 2014, the Catholics had the wafer tested at various research institutes and then had the Department of Forensic Medicine issue a report on those tests:

In the histopathological image, the fragments were found containing the fragmented parts of the cross-striated muscle. It is most similar to the heart muscle.

Notice that the Department of Forensic Medicine didn't actually make any tests, but simply issued a report based on - who knows what? Information given to them by a Catholic preacher who was desperately looking for a miracle?

Finally, despite the extreme vagueness of the tests and the final report, Bishop Zbigniew Kiernikowski of Legnica boldly announced, on April 17th, 2016, that  the mouldy wafer "has the hallmarks of a Eucharistic miracle" and he approved it for veneration in Poland.

In actual fact, the red colour is caused by a mould; a red bacteria named Serratia marcescens. It grows on bread and communion wafers that have been stored in damp places.

By the way, in case you didn't know, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is just another name for The Inquisition. Not many people are aware that the Inquisition still exists and is ready to reintroduce the thumbscrew and the rack as soon as the government allows them to do so.
