A 627-year-old 'blood miracle' failed to occur, heralding disaster for 2017

Im tellin ya... catholicism is creepy as hell. Death cultish weirdness... cannibalistic vampires. They like weird crap too. Take for example that the Vatican has ( in its room of creepiness) a plume from the wing of the archangel Gabriel. Yep. They actually make this claim. Of course its from a peacock or Quetzal, but like liquifying blood.. its a MURICLE!!

Coincidentally, while sitting in traffic on I-5 last week, I listened to an interesting NPR (National Public Radio) broadcast entitled, "Why won't this pink stuff stop growing in my bathroom?". On the rare occasions that I have found this stuff (usually in old bathtubs), I just assumed it was shampoo/soap residue or rust from ancient plumbing. Turns out that the pink stuff is a bacteria called Serratia marcescens that flourishes in damp soapy environments.
Wait, wait! Let me get to the good part! The pink stuff is related to an exorcism, AND may be the explanation for many (if not all) of the so-called "religious blood miracles"!!! Not only that, but the US Navy conducted SECRET experiments with this stuff, resulting in at least one death!!!

Those pink rings and streaks are a biofilm formed by colonies of a bacterium called Serratia marcescens, found worldwide. Like most bacteria, it’s harmless — unless you’re in extremely poor health.

That red-tinged bathroom gunk is related to an exorcism, Italy’s “bloody polenta” epidemic of 1819 and, years later in the U.S., a dangerous government experiment.

God help us:

Serratia marcescens wasn’t officially discovered until 1819, when residents in one Italian province became fearful of “bloody” polenta during a particularly humid summer. “Families refused to stay in homes where the discolored polenta was kept, and one farmer asked for a priest to free his home from ‘evil spirits,’” writes microbiologist Steven Mahlen.

Secret Military Tests:

In 1950, the U.S. Navy secretly sprayed Serratia marcescens into the air just off the coast of San Francisco. Called Operation Sea Spray, the covert experiment was one of several similar tests conducted by the U.S. government in the 1950s and ’60s. This one was meant to simulate an off-shore bioweapon attack on a major American city, with the goal of tracking how the brightly-colored bacteria spread. Within a month of the tests, 11 people checked into a San Francisco hospital with infections. One patient, a 75-year-old man named Edward Nevin who was recovering from prostate surgery, eventually died. San Francisco hospitals also reported an uptick in pneumonia cases following the tests, although a direct correlation with the Navy tests was never established. Defense officials acknowledged Operation Sea Spray during a Senate subcommittee hearing in 1977 after journalists uncovered evidence of the tests. Nevin’s family tried unsuccessfully to sue the federal government for wrongful death.

And finally, to bring it all back to the OP, Blood Miracles:

Modern-day historians and scientists theorize that Serratia marcescens has long had a dramatic relationship with food, as it was likely mistaken for blood throughout history. The bacterium could be responsible for “bleeding bread” miracles throughout religious history, since it loves starch as much as it loves the soap scum on your shower wall. And bleeding statues? That could be Serratia marcescens, too.

The article also states that the bacteria may have cancer-fighting properties, so perhaps we should just let it multiply and forget about bleaching it to oblivion.

Perhaps the truly miraculous thing about Serratia marcescens: The red pigment it produces (aptly named prodigiosin) seems to have cancer-fighting properties, although the exact nature of how it interacts with malignant cells is still being studied.

Dang! Another necromantic augury failed!

Some of the rituals in the Catholic church seem a bit out of date.

Keeping the blood of a bishop who was killed hundreds of years ago and taking it out on special occasions is a bit macabre and weird to me.

So, I don't pay much attention or put any faith in these dog and pony shows

It's crazy, stupid shat like this, that pushed me into the atheist realm.......and they call me crazy. My egg yolk broke this morning, does that mean I'm gonna have a bad day? NO, it means I had 1 well done egg & 1 sunnyside up. Religious folks do some damn crazy shat.

Speaking as a former altar boy and failed catholic for the last 30 years, I can absolutely attest to the above.

Weirdness abounds in the Roman Catholic Church. And the Vatican is just plain scary as hell in places...

I know of the plume you mention as Gabriel is my confirmation name. It was "given" to me at the last minute by the archbishop of our dioceses as were were lining up for the confirmation mass and service. He knew me personally as I was the head altar boy in our church and I guess he didn't approve of the confirmation name I chose for myself - Aloysius.

Maybe he had something against the Jesuits...

That Archbishop went on to become Cardinal Cooke of NY.

Dried blood that liquefies???

That's not a miracle, at best its a parlor trick, and they managed to screw it up. LoL

Should have got David Blaine to make an appearance, im sure he would have had something up his sleeve that could have passed for a miracle.

If indeed we are in for a hard time its not because of dried saint blood but it is because of the Vatican.

Someone didn't mix the blood recipe correctly, oops.

Think it's more a push from Vatican to promote socialism,seems to me the Catholic church is taking a different direction with the UN aka new world order,most of this end time crap is hype,some people are miserable,and aren't happy unless everyone else is too,pessimist always see bad side,Catholic church has a lot of hidden secret's and a lot of gold,and plenty of skeleton's in closet,and it's own army,sounds a bit suspicious to me

There are only five possibilities:

1) Divine act
2) Random occurrence
3) Environmental actor
4) Intentional act
5) Mistake in carrying out the intentional act

Any of those five is fascinating.

I say let'em all burn. Their filthy lies can burn with them too.

Considering the current state of humanity, and the fact that after 7000 odd years we still have not managed to put aside our religious indifference and work together towards the common betterment of our species, if i was God i would turn up and demand a paternity test.

Might be an idea to get in to there secret archives first and redeem the historical artifacts and treasures they have looted and pilfered over the millennia.

Who knows whats down there or what would be found?

a reply to: andy06shake


If the world got hold of what they're really hiding in there, they wouldn't live long. I'm sure most not the library of Alexandria is amongst the archives. As the old adage was, there is Nothing that is hidden that won't eventually be revealed.

Wondering if the Saint had hemophilia

a reply to: PillarOfFire

Well they do say "there is nothing new under the sun".

Lets just say i imagine there is enough evidence of there wrongdoings and meddling down there to bury there hypocritical religious ideologies up to the neck.

Never mind the vast sums of monies they have tucked away in there Vatican vaults and bank accounts that could have a significant impact regarding world poverty should they ever be made available to alleviate or tackle the issue.

Faith, Hope and Charity my arse "They" are all about control.

Aha, I knew Donald Trump's election meant something to the gods!

a reply to: loam

I have heard of this ritual but has there ever been proof that the blood liquefies during the ceremony? I wonder if the Hymn to Lucifer to bring sainthood to the last two popes has a link to it?

Some Italian scientist replicated their trick using his own blood in a sealed glass vial.
