Or at the very least that it missed her the second time around.<br /> Perhaps the Vatican might have been more impressed if the Blessed Mary had intervened to ensure the friggin’ car didn’t hit the poor girl in the first place.

No miracle; no saint.<br /><br />Surprisingly my local Catholic Church (apparently closed for business because they're all attending WYD) was not too pleased with the idea. I asked where to find the documentation on her first miracle, but the delusionists were beside themselves. Perhaps there was an alternate explanation?

Until Mary McKillop supporters do the same the good sister will continually be pushed to the back of the canonization queue.

The Catholic Church does not live on bread alone!

Peace be with you all

Does the author solemnly believe all this amazing twaddle? Let me see...Five medicos are paid to stare at a hazy problem and decide if the hand of God was there or not. Might they have been better employed attending to the latest traffic accident victims? ASnd that your saint whosiewhatis Gianna got a gong for refusing an abortion? Along with about 500 million other women on the planet who were either too stupid, or too poor to get an abortion. Why don't they get knighted? Or whatever it is they do. The piece of bland porridge called Mary McKillop wouldn't have rated a mention if her name had been Gertrude Finkelstein or Fatima Mahmoud. Why doesn't the Catholic Church perform a real miracle by endorsing birth control? Too difficult? I thought this was some dastardly joke conjured up by a pixie in a woodpile.
