Hi Matt, physician here. That is a slice cross section of a heart chamber, Father is correct. It’s not rotted out in the center. The center (the chamber) would contain blood being pumped through the circulation. The inner lining of the heart looks rugged as usual. For a 500 year old specimen, other than appearing dry, it is in miraculous shape. It would require a conspiracy of priests replacing the specimens for the last 500 years, for it to look so good. For there to be blood in the specimen (AB+) defies explanation as blood cells cannot survive long ex vivo (unless encased in amber maybe X-)

I love eucharistic miracles (I converted to Catholicism because of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist), and was blessed to visit the eucharistic miracle in O'Cebreiro, Spain. That being said, the need to be less credulous is really well seen in the movie Leap of Faith with Steve Martin.

@@sotem3608 yes but The Bible also teaches that miracles have particular seasons with reason. When prophets were absent, so was scripture. In the last days, miracles are highly likely to not be of God
I remember reading about a Eucharistic miracle in Poland where a piece of heart tissue was found in a consecrated host when I was a teenager who was flirting with the idea of atheism. Even though I was (and still am) a Protestant, I found it very edifying that there was a miracle in Christianity that was recent and was backed by scientific inquiry.
Just curious, when you say you are a Protestant, is there something holding you back or something you personally protest which may be lack of understanding or not explained correctly. I have found learning my faith best by selecting people that help me gain a better understanding and carefully selecting books, readings, etc. I wish we could bridge our faiths.
The most miraculous thing though is the Bible itself, how some books prophesied all that was fulfilled by Jesus to the letter hundreds of years before He became human.
Greetings Mexican, those who composed the NT were well aware of OT prophesy and maybe they engineered Jesus to fit..The question is, if it's true why don't the Jews buy it..?

@@nonsuperstitiouscatholic6327 The vast majority of the Jews converted to Christianity (mainly thanks to wittnesing the miracles). Roman historical (and others) records prove the existance of Jesus. The martyrdom of the apostles (and others) proves that they were not just "engineering" the whole thing. Would you allow others to torture and kill you just to create a made up religion?
@ I personally don't think Jesus had any say in the matter, He tipped the tables over in the temple and was crucified by the Romans for being a troublemaker..The Early Church made a drama out of it to infer that the Jews were complicit just to create a division between Christianity and Judaism and claim they rejected their prophesied Messiah, so they could make Him the new God of the Roman Empire to unite all the fragmented pagan religions under one belief system..
@@nonsuperstitiouscatholic6327 , Christ's fulfillment of the OT unfolds to this day past the obvious things, like The Holy Family fleeing and called from Egypt. For example, the "I am" sayings of Jesus and their order correspond directly with the Tent of Meeting in the OT. This is incredibly hard to fake considering the sayings were separated by weeks and months. Nevermind that there Bible itself doesn't seem to focus on it like the other fulfillments. It's a hidden gem, that the Divine Author set up for us to discover thousands of years later. Also, the fulfillments of the OT in the NT doesn't stop at Jesus. The Blessed Virgin Mary is part of it as well. She is the new Eve, the Lady who's foot smashes Satan's head, and she is the New Ark of the Covenant. These fulfillment gems too took hundreds of years for Christian theologians to uncover. Tell me what other Book this heavily studied still has the power to surprise us?
I’ve thought that “scientism” is essentially unscientific because the whole point of science is to question and investigate. Everything is underpinned by philosophy, whether people acknowledge that or not and the type of philosophy can either lead us towards or astray...
Mostly true, but science itself is based off of several philosophical axioms that are scientifically unproven (or unprovable), for instance that we can even know anything about the cosmos. “Science” used to be called “natural philosophy.”
Wisdom 11:20 Or without any of these, your enemies could have been cut down by a single breath-pursued by your justice and crushed by a powerful breath. But you have set all things in right order by proportion: by measure, by number, and by weight.
the point here is that science seeks reproducible facts and philosophy is based on ideas. there is a philosophy of science but for the purposes of looking at things like eucharistic miracles, science is being asked to identify the nature of the materials under investigation. for me, I'm open to believe in the miracles, but I want to be assured of the 'chain of evidence...the origins of the wafers and 100% proof that the original wafer is what is being investigated. interesting!
"Blessed are they who believe, yet have not seen." When your faith in Jesus waivers cling, grasp, hang on to dear salvation to these pithy words of our Lord. He is risen.
About the protestant person 1:16:22 what if the reformers, Luther & Calvin, were under demonic influence? That would have been a good answer, but father Donahue was very polite and intelligent in his response. The reformers were not authorized to break away from the Church.
So enjoy this beautiful explains of miracles of çhrist, you and your guest bring to us, be blessed Matt Fràdd. I believe it all in àll your dàily podcast, I àm not à sceptical about this but yes I want to glorify God 🙏🕊️🌹 God is good for y
100%!!! So glad this was addressed - it is not wrong to be skeptical! In order to reach true faith and belief on an individual level - we need to be allowed to question without being judged.
For some, no amount of evidence will ever be sufficient. They will mock Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist the same way they mocked Christ on the Cross.

I knew a guy from Boston that was active at the Mission Church on Tremont Street in Boston with an Irish Catholic Priest named Father McDonough who had the gift of healing. At a Mass that this man was at, while he was receiving the Eucharist, the Eucharist turned into a piece of flesh in his hand which he noticed before he put it in his mouth. He was nervous and shocked from what he saw but put it in his mouth anyways. I asked him why he thought it was a piece of flesh and he said it was flopping around in his hand.
I like that the red bread mold was discovered. It makes clear that investigations aren't just seeking to affirm what people want it to be. Even looking at it, authentic miracles tend to have some obvious flesh. In the case of the mold, in the midst of the red area, we see white bits almost as if scratched onto it or something. Mold and other microorganism activity can lead to a dominant color, but then yet another color. We don't tend to have more bread in the middle of the flesh in the miraculous forms. So that alone was enough for me to question it when I first saw it.
The church is the greatest skeptic, sometimes too skeptical for reasons unknown, in terms of reported apparitions and miracles, it has to be for false miracles destroy real faith.
was born in 1962 and what I learn from my mother what the American Catholic church was requiring was the mass to be giving in English and not the liturgy or format to be change. In those day not a lot of people could study latin. However, many priests let the church and people destroy the churches. Took out status and expensive picture and destroy it. This cause many faithful catholic to become decsilution with the church and left. My mother was one of them. Vatican II was good, it never wrote the abusive that were permitted in the destruction of the Catholic churches that cause the lost of so many faithful catholic leaving and schools, hospital and many churches closing!
Father Terry seems to be a sincere man of some scientific background, trying his best to be objective on the topic of Eucharistic miracles. He reminds me a bit of Fox Mulder in the Xfiles, a likeable fellow whose mantra was "I Want To Believe"....which usually clouded Mulder's objectivity. John 20:27-29 "Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” "Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” "Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Mathew 12:38-40 "Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah."
hmmm I don't get that from him at all... He is affable like Tom Papa in a way, but more scientific than probably any youtube armchair commentary here....

Love, love, love Pints with Aquinas, Matt. You have truly found your calling. Glory be to God.

I love this stuff. It just confirms belief, and not only that but knowing. Literally knowing the most lunatic of beliefs is 100% true, all of it from Genesis to Revelation of St. John. It all happened and will happen. That should make us transformed and very vocal about this knowledge.
Thank you, Father. I do believe in Euchristic authority, not completely based on eucharistic miracles in any scientific sense. My experience us that everytime I receive the holy body of Christ in the Catholic Mass, I can live one or days in goid health, good sprit, high commitment. Just recently, in last two years when I have regularly attebded daily mass, I am aware of these miracles in the sense of faith. Lately, I also found some scientific miracles of the euchrist. The small holy bread changed into a piece of human flesh (pls search in Google concering eucharist)
I experience eucharistic miracles after I receive the Eucharist. Little things many times like physical healing or spiritual healing. To me transubstantiation is a daily miracle I can count on to remind me of Jesus promise to remain with us until the end of the age.
That would be cool. The Catholic Churches' support of evolution, even from some of its most traditionalist elements, always seemed odd to me, especially when they claim to be the strongest force against modernism.
Why is there so much fear of discussing this topic. I notice that there is an irrational fear from evolutionists of discussing this in detail. They sound exactly like the atheists... Shaming people for even discussing legitimate dissenting scientific views. Fear mongering isn't an intelligent response. It's an emotional one. Grow up and show up to a debate, or sit down and let the adults talk.
@Daniel Blais I encourage you to examine the scientific evidence interpreted from a critical perspective which isn't based on credulity or an "a priori" commitment to naturalism and uniformitarianism. www.kolbecenter.org/ AND creation.com/ are good sites to reference. Between these sites, there are more than ten thousand articles published by highly qualified scientists who are former evolutionists - most of whom used to be non Christians and became creationists BECAUSE of the science (not in denial of it as most ignorant skeptics assume). It covers every major scientific discipline you can imagine. I agree whole-heartedly that Christians don't have to check their brains at the door to have a deep, committed faith. Pitting faith against science is a mistake - one I believe you may be unintentionally making. A thinking Christian doesn't have to choose between faith or science. You can have them both. Just don't forget - "evolution" (macro evolution) isn't science. It's philosophy wearing a lab coat and hiding behind the dignity of solid, operational science (micro evolution). I hope I'm not speaking over your head. I wish you well.
"How do we know these are not works of Satan to fool catholics?" Because these miracles don't push people away from Christ, they bring people to Christ. If the Eucharistic miracles come from Hell then Hell is divided amongst itself and cannot stand.
There are NO Eucharistic miracles..If a scientist produced evidence that proved that the supernatural was real, he would immediately be awarded the Nobel Prize...
@@HenryTCoxwell Jesus in John 6 says how we must eat his flesh and drink his blood, yet in the same passage, Jesus had neither bread or wine to illustrate… because he was inside a synagogue teaching, not at a dinner table. later on in John 13, John completely skips over the institution of the Lord’s Supper. How could Jesus have held the apostles and disciples accountable for understanding the Eucharist when the Lord’s Supper was not even established? there is no connection between the feeding of the 5,000 and the last supper. The fact alone that Jesus was alive and partook of the last supper along with the apostles is another sign. Also, the allegory in John 6 began in verse 35. “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”… coming and believing, hunger and thirst. That’s the analogy. Eating is what sustains life, and no one else can eat for you. Just like no one else can believe in Christ for you. Don’t focus on the bread that perishes (literal), but focus on the bread of life that came down from heaven (symbolic). Did Jesus come down from heaven as a loaf of bread? After all, he’s being literal in this passage. There is a HUGE contrast between the beginning and the 2nd half of John 6. In fact, the bread Jesus referred to as the “bread of life” was referencing to the manna which was leavened bread. During the last supper, Jesus Add reference to the “bread of affliction” by use of his body, which was matzoh, or unleavened bread. Meaning John 6 describes being filled with the life of Christ, and the last supper scenario describes Christ’s life being poured out. The last supper primarily discusses the contractual binding of the new covenant, while John 6 discusses the desire to walk with Christ and have faith in him. Two different scenarios with two different implications. Jesus only said This “is” my body.. if it “is” his body, at what point was it changed? The word “is” is a continuous and non-changing adverb
Anyone interested in this topic should seek the research of Dr. Ricardo Castañón Gómez. He was commissioned by Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Bishop of Buenos Aires (Pope Francis) to conduct research on Eucharistic miracles in Argentina. He is the leading expert on this topic.
Fathr Terry,thank you very much for your explanations about Eucharist miracles.I dont feel worthy of receiving Jesus Christ at Holy communion in my dirty hands . Jesus Christ have mercy on us poor sinners .
A Eucharistic miracle in Poland or multiple for that matter doesn’t surprise me. Look at how devout the nation of Poland is as a whole. It’s like a confirmation of their piety.
For Mango Bango, there is a scripture in one of the letters of Paul or another Apostle. I didn't note it down, so I can't find it right now. Paul or another Apostle said to lay hands on people to give them the Holy Spirit. I'm paraphrasing. This is what bishops and priests do when they perform rites. I don't think this is done in any protestant churches. I'll try to find the scripture again. As for miracles like this, in a place of doubt, this and other miracles in the Catholic Church have helped me. This is beyond "science", beyond reason, that our limited minds can fathom.
@@AlejandroGarcia-ek3uy I guess you're probably right. He was asked about his opinion on Eucharistic Miracles during the Q & A session of a debate with WL Craig. And his reply was along the lines of "all religions claim to have some miracles". I guess praying for him is a very good idea though. 👍

I believe fully that the Shroud of Turin has the image of Jesus on it from when his body was resurrected, but I struggle to believe in the Eucharistic miracles. I just started this podcast. Maybe it’ll change my mind.
Can someone provide me with some independent sources to back of the claims? For example, "1973, the Higher Council of the World Health Organization (WHO) appointed a scientific commission to verify the Italian doctor's conclusions." Any sources people have?
Father was asked about some extra medical-scientific confirmation of the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano findings concluded by Professor Linoli, but seems like he has no knowledge that in 1973 the UN - WHO Scientific Commission was created to corroborate Professor Linoli's findings which lasted 15 months and had done about 500 test. They have also confirmed his findings.
40:50 The center of the Lanciano Host had retained the appearance of bread. The Host only became Flesh around the edge. The Flesh was enmeshed all the way around with Bread in the center when it was originally examined by the monks at the time. Over time the center Bread degraded but the outer ring of Flesh has remained.
What about the eucharistic miracle in Argentina with Bishop Bergoglio (now Pope Francis). Also it might be advantageous to have an interview with Father Spitzer and Father Chris Alar as well about the topic of eucharistic miracles
Once you start researching Eucharistic Miracles you get so deep into a hole you dig to the other side and hit daylight. It absolutely affirmed for me that Jesus is who He said He is and He is still very much alive and very much God. We exist in occupied territory while alive, unless something goes down.
Ask the Blessed Mother to reveal herself to you as a proof of her apparitions in a dream or in whatever way. It depends on how you ask it. Humble yourself before her and ask her to help you believe in her apparitions. They’re so many.

Ancient people didn't know thoughts are contained in the brain. They believed that your feelings came from the heart and contained your soul. That's why the heart is thought to be so important. Let God into your "heart" and such. Knowing this, it makes this heart tissue miracle a bit silly. No thoughts in our hearts.
But there are other connections to actual cardiac tissue to explain it’s meaning in the miracle. Blood rushes thru the heart. It is the center of out circulatory system. Jesus offered his Body and Blood for the forgiveness of sins. Also the phenomenon that this muscle was under stress is very revealing. Jesus suffered both physically and emotionally for our sins. No doubt about that.
Aren’t scientists often kept in the dark as to the source of the tissue they’re being asked to analyze, so as to preserve the integrity of their findings?
It's not Latin; it's a later dialect, related to modern Italian. It's possibly the local language of Lanciano, which is the Abruzzo Adriatic language, or it may be Tuscan, the language of Dante, which eventually evolved into modern Italian.
11:05 it'sideally the Fathers will that you should recognize the Son i the Eucharist: -John 6:35,40 JESUS said to them, “I AM **THE BREAD** of life.. this is **THE WILL** of Him who sent Me, that EVERYONE who **SEES THE SON** and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will **RAISE HIM UP** at the LAST DAY.” -(context is Jesus being literal bread).
1:15:00 Why not demonic? Because look at the fruit from the tree. They lead to deeper love of and devotion to Christ, not something the devil would likely be happy about.
Linoli's report was published in "Quaderni Sclavo di Diagnostica Clinica e di Laboratori" in 1971. Is an actual published paper in a scientific journal. Edit: unable to find anything online about The Who. My apologies.

If the Lanciano relic includes flesh and blood, what do we say to a Lutheran who believes that the relic supports the Lutheran belief that bread and wine consubstantiate?
Be Catholic..... Jesus did say to Peter " You are the rock; on this rock I will build my church ( entrusting to carry on all that the son of God came to earth for) until a better dude named Martin Luther comes along who will get it right."
Eucharistic miracles should not be celebrated, they are a sign of our disbelief in the Eucharist and I never understood how catholics emphasize it so much. If an eucharistic miracle happened when I was communing, I would pray to God to forgive my disbelief and try my hardest to repent.
You detest all miracles because your faith is impeccable and so what about St. Thomas and all others without your perfect faith? That doesn't seem charitable. Fortunately Our Lord is charitable, even to those for whom visible miracles are meaningful.
I don't know that I agree Jesus wouldn't have a y chromosome, as to me it'd make sense he'd miraculously have one, being the perfect Man, new Adam and all that. But I suppose we do not know about that at this point in time, not that it's all that important.
Besides many others a Eucharistic miracle happened to a member of our True Life in God prayer group in Australia. Her name is Marianne. During a house Mass when she received the communion she couldn’t swallow it as it had turned into something hard in her mouth. She opened her mouth and asked the person next to her what’s in her mouth and it was indeed a bloody chunk of meat. Somebody took a picture of her mouth wide open with the bleeding host. Marianne had another divine experience. This was many years ago, I don’t remember what year it was. The first day of Lent she received Jesus’ wounds on her hands, forehead and feet, and oil was oozing from the wounds with heavenly fragrance. She also suffered terrible headaches. This lasted until the last day of lent and on Easter Sunday all her wounds were gone completely.
I'm a protestant Christian, I DONT BELIEVE NON OF THIS! Nah I'm just kidding 😊 I'd really love to experience the eucharistic miracle, I was born a catholic, I'm still a catholic. I've never experienced the Lord in the eucharist.
I've skimmed about 20 minutes of this, and I'm assuming they aren't going to talk about any actual evidence as the title suggests. If they do, will someone please comment with a timestamp, because I am really curious what such evidence might look like.

Thomas the doubter didn't want to just take people's word for it either and for it he was the only one of the apostles to touch the resurrected body. That story says to me that if you need proof then God will provide it for you. I've always said that the presence of doubt does not mean the lack of faith. If you have true faith then your doubt will drive you to seek for definitive proof. Once you have the proof then it moves into the realm of fact rather than belief. You don't need to hope that it is true you don't need to believe that it's true you KNOW that it is true. Then the only way to take a contrary position is to deny the facts and Jesus said what would happen when you deny him.
1:21:45 Why wouldn’t it be Our Lord’s DNA? It’s not the traumatized heart tissue of a random person that has appeared. Surely it’s Our Lord’s own heart.
My point is it's not a deception from Satan or his demons because they would not want to promote Jesus in the Eucharist. And through these miracles they are bringing hope and charitable thoughts to Jesus.

Am I justified in believing Islam is true based on insufficient evidence? I have not seen Allah yet I believe
I disagree, if there was evidence for God's existence there would be no atheists.
I love Fr. Donahue's humility and honesty in talking about these. He's being honest about any potential problems in the research and presenting it in the most honest and scientific way he can.
I love that :)
I love eucharistic miracles (I converted to Catholicism because of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist), and was blessed to visit the eucharistic miracle in O'Cebreiro, Spain. That being said, the need to be less credulous is really well seen in the movie Leap of Faith with Steve Martin.
So...why wasn't the scientist awarded the Nobel Prize for the biggest breakthrough in scientific history...
Yes wouldnt a confirmation of God in bread be worth at least winning then Nobel prize? I’m sure the Randj foundation would love to hand out 1M to the church
Revelation teaches antichrist will use miracles and wonders to deceive many.
@@Hypnotoad206 revelation also teaches God is a God of miracles and wonders.
@@sotem3608 yes but The Bible also teaches that miracles have particular seasons with reason. When prophets were absent, so was scripture. In the last days, miracles are highly likely to not be of God

I remember reading about a Eucharistic miracle in Poland where a piece of heart tissue was found in a consecrated host when I was a teenager who was flirting with the idea of atheism. Even though I was (and still am) a Protestant, I found it very edifying that there was a miracle in Christianity that was recent and was backed by scientific inquiry.
Oh, they discussed this miracle in here. That’s great!
Just curious, when you say you are a Protestant, is there something holding you back or something you personally protest which may be lack of understanding or not explained correctly. I have found learning my faith best by selecting people that help me gain a better understanding and carefully selecting books, readings, etc. I wish we could bridge our faiths.
This was dissected on an atheist channel recently and they demonstrated how absurd it is.
@@frankwhelan1715 not at all
Why stay in Protest-antism?
The most miraculous thing though is the Bible itself, how some books prophesied all that was fulfilled by Jesus to the letter hundreds of years before He became human.
Greetings Mexican, those who composed the NT were well aware of OT prophesy and maybe they engineered Jesus to fit..The question is, if it's true why don't the Jews buy it..?
@@nonsuperstitiouscatholic6327 The vast majority of the Jews converted to Christianity (mainly thanks to wittnesing the miracles). Roman historical (and others) records prove the existance of Jesus. The martyrdom of the apostles (and others) proves that they were not just "engineering" the whole thing. Would you allow others to torture and kill you just to create a made up religion?
@ I personally don't think Jesus had any say in the matter, He tipped the tables over in the temple and was crucified by the Romans for being a troublemaker..The Early Church made a drama out of it to infer that the Jews were complicit just to create a division between Christianity and Judaism and claim they rejected their prophesied Messiah, so they could make Him the new God of the Roman Empire to unite all the fragmented pagan religions under one belief system..
@@nonsuperstitiouscatholic6327 , Christ's fulfillment of the OT unfolds to this day past the obvious things, like The Holy Family fleeing and called from Egypt. For example, the "I am" sayings of Jesus and their order correspond directly with the Tent of Meeting in the OT. This is incredibly hard to fake considering the sayings were separated by weeks and months. Nevermind that there Bible itself doesn't seem to focus on it like the other fulfillments. It's a hidden gem, that the Divine Author set up for us to discover thousands of years later. Also, the fulfillments of the OT in the NT doesn't stop at Jesus. The Blessed Virgin Mary is part of it as well. She is the new Eve, the Lady who's foot smashes Satan's head, and she is the New Ark of the Covenant. These fulfillment gems too took hundreds of years for Christian theologians to uncover.
Tell me what other Book this heavily studied still has the power to surprise us?
Jesus was a devout Jew..why would he want to be the god of pagans..? Paganism was the epitome of everything Jews despised..
I’ve thought that “scientism” is essentially unscientific because the whole point of science is to question and investigate. Everything is underpinned by philosophy, whether people acknowledge that or not and the type of philosophy can either lead us towards or astray...
Many have pointed out scientism is self defeating because it has no internal proof of itself.
Greetings Louisa, Science is 100% evidence based while philosophy is whatever you feel comfortable with...
Mostly true, but science itself is based off of several philosophical axioms that are scientifically unproven (or unprovable), for instance that we can even know anything about the cosmos. “Science” used to be called “natural philosophy.”
Wisdom 11:20
Or without any of these, your enemies could have been cut down by a single breath-pursued by your justice and crushed by a powerful breath. But you have set all things in right order by proportion: by measure, by number, and by weight.
the point here is that science seeks reproducible facts and philosophy is based on ideas. there is a philosophy of science but for the purposes of looking at things like eucharistic miracles, science is being asked to identify the nature of the materials under investigation. for me, I'm open to believe in the miracles, but I want to be assured of the 'chain of evidence...the origins of the wafers and 100% proof that the original wafer is what is being investigated. interesting!

About the protestant person 1:16:22 what if the reformers, Luther & Calvin, were under demonic influence? That would have been a good answer, but father Donahue was very polite and intelligent in his response. The reformers were not authorized to break away from the Church.

The loving creator, of course, would become a man among us for our salvation. And if he saw it would love us would have these kinds of miracles too.
This is so cool! I know and have visited with Fr. Terry when he came to St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission!
100%!!! So glad this was addressed - it is not wrong to be skeptical! In order to reach true faith and belief on an individual level - we need to be allowed to question without being judged.
For some, no amount of evidence will ever be sufficient. They will mock Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist the same way they mocked Christ on the Cross.
Not the same at all ,you have to examine these claims and none are proved.Many are obvious fakes.
If there was evidence for any of this, faith wouldn't be needed to believe it. I don't need faith to accept the existence of the sun and moon.

I knew a guy from Boston that was active at the Mission Church on Tremont Street in Boston with an Irish Catholic Priest named Father McDonough who had the gift of healing.
At a Mass that this man was at, while he was receiving the Eucharist, the Eucharist turned into a piece of flesh in his hand which he noticed before he put it in his mouth.
He was nervous and shocked from what he saw but put it in his mouth anyways.
I asked him why he thought it was a piece of flesh and he said it was flopping around in his hand.
Wow.
I like that the red bread mold was discovered. It makes clear that investigations aren't just seeking to affirm what people want it to be. Even looking at it, authentic miracles tend to have some obvious flesh. In the case of the mold, in the midst of the red area, we see white bits almost as if scratched onto it or something. Mold and other microorganism activity can lead to a dominant color, but then yet another color. We don't tend to have more bread in the middle of the flesh in the miraculous forms. So that alone was enough for me to question it when I first saw it.

The church is the greatest skeptic, sometimes too skeptical for reasons unknown, in terms of reported apparitions and miracles, it has to be for false miracles destroy real faith.
Thanks
was born in 1962 and what I learn from my mother what the American Catholic church was requiring was the mass to be giving in English and not the liturgy or format to be change. In those day not a lot of people could study latin. However, many priests let the church and people destroy the churches. Took out status and expensive picture and destroy it. This cause many faithful catholic to become decsilution with the church and left. My mother was one of them. Vatican II was good, it never wrote the abusive that were permitted in the destruction of the Catholic churches that cause the lost of so many faithful catholic leaving and schools, hospital and many churches closing!
Father Terry seems to be a sincere man of some scientific background, trying his best to be objective on the topic of Eucharistic miracles. He reminds me a bit of Fox Mulder in the Xfiles, a likeable fellow whose mantra was "I Want To Believe"....which usually clouded Mulder's objectivity.
John 20:27-29
"Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
"Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
"Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Mathew 12:38-40
"Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah."
hmmm I don't get that from him at all... He is affable like Tom Papa in a way, but more scientific than probably any youtube armchair commentary here....

A small suggestion for future shows - prior to your interview you might want to ask the guest to reposition his webcam. In this interview, the guest appears as if he is looking down his nose at the audience in a smug condescending manner. For me, the visual distracted from the good father's fascinating message.
Keep up the good work.

I love this stuff. It just confirms belief, and not only that but knowing. Literally knowing the most lunatic of beliefs is 100% true, all of it from Genesis to Revelation of St. John. It all happened and will happen. That should make us transformed and very vocal about this knowledge.
Thank you, Father. I do believe in Euchristic authority, not completely based on eucharistic miracles in any scientific sense. My experience us that everytime I receive the holy body of Christ in the Catholic Mass, I can live one or days in goid health, good sprit, high commitment. Just recently, in last two years when I have regularly attebded daily mass, I am aware of these miracles in the sense of faith. Lately, I also found some scientific miracles of the euchrist. The small holy bread changed into a piece of human flesh (pls search in Google concering eucharist)
I experience eucharistic miracles after I receive the Eucharist. Little things many times like physical healing or spiritual healing. To me transubstantiation is a daily miracle I can count on to remind me of Jesus promise to remain with us until the end of the age.
Hi Matt. How about an episode on creationism vs evolutionism/Darwinism either as a talk presenting both sides or a debate
This would be great! Bring in a priest/scientist from Foundations Restored
That would be cool. The Catholic Churches' support of evolution, even from some of its most traditionalist elements, always seemed odd to me, especially when they claim to be the strongest force against modernism.
Please no. Giving a platform to the anti-evolutionist, anti-science types will only harm Catholic evangelism
Why is there so much fear of discussing this topic. I notice that there is an irrational fear from evolutionists of discussing this in detail. They sound exactly like the atheists... Shaming people for even discussing legitimate dissenting scientific views. Fear mongering isn't an intelligent response. It's an emotional one. Grow up and show up to a debate, or sit down and let the adults talk.
@Daniel Blais I encourage you to examine the scientific evidence interpreted from a critical perspective which isn't based on credulity or an "a priori" commitment to naturalism and uniformitarianism. www.kolbecenter.org/ AND creation.com/ are good sites to reference. Between these sites, there are more than ten thousand articles published by highly qualified scientists who are former evolutionists - most of whom used to be non Christians and became creationists BECAUSE of the science (not in denial of it as most ignorant skeptics assume). It covers every major scientific discipline you can imagine. I agree whole-heartedly that Christians don't have to check their brains at the door to have a deep, committed faith. Pitting faith against science is a mistake - one I believe you may be unintentionally making. A thinking Christian doesn't have to choose between faith or science. You can have them both. Just don't forget - "evolution" (macro evolution) isn't science. It's philosophy wearing a lab coat and hiding behind the dignity of solid, operational science (micro evolution). I hope I'm not speaking over your head. I wish you well.
"How do we know these are not works of Satan to fool catholics?"
Because these miracles don't push people away from Christ, they bring people to Christ.

@@charnelallan7159 Could you please present your case for communion being purely symbolic?
@@HenryTCoxwell Jesus in John 6 says how we must eat his flesh and drink his blood, yet in the same passage, Jesus had neither bread or wine to illustrate… because he was inside a synagogue teaching, not at a dinner table. later on in John 13, John completely skips over the institution of the Lord’s Supper. How could Jesus have held the apostles and disciples accountable for understanding the Eucharist when the Lord’s Supper was not even established? there is no connection between the feeding of the 5,000 and the last supper. The fact alone that Jesus was alive and partook of the last supper along with the apostles is another sign. Also, the allegory in John 6 began in verse 35. “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”… coming and believing, hunger and thirst. That’s the analogy. Eating is what sustains life, and no one else can eat for you. Just like no one else can believe in Christ for you. Don’t focus on the bread that perishes (literal), but focus on the bread of life that came down from heaven (symbolic). Did Jesus come down from heaven as a loaf of bread? After all, he’s being literal in this passage. There is a HUGE contrast between the beginning and the 2nd half of John 6. In fact, the bread Jesus referred to as the “bread of life” was referencing to the manna which was leavened bread. During the last supper, Jesus
Add reference to the “bread of affliction” by use of his body, which was matzoh, or unleavened bread. Meaning John 6 describes being filled with the life of Christ, and the last supper scenario describes Christ’s life being poured out. The last supper primarily discusses the contractual binding of the new covenant, while John 6 discusses the desire to walk with Christ and have faith in him. Two different scenarios with two different implications. Jesus only said This “is” my body.. if it “is” his body, at what point was it changed? The word “is” is a continuous and non-changing adverb
🔥Faith doesn’t require science!🔥 ☦️
But as he explained, these miracles are for out benefit. Some of us can use a boost of grace now and then! 🌻
Anyone interested in this topic should seek the research of Dr. Ricardo Castañón Gómez. He was commissioned by Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Bishop of Buenos Aires (Pope Francis) to conduct research on Eucharistic miracles in Argentina. He is the leading expert on this topic.

Fathr Terry,thank you very much for your explanations about Eucharist miracles.I dont feel worthy of receiving Jesus Christ at Holy communion in my dirty hands . Jesus Christ have mercy on us poor sinners .
A Eucharistic miracle in Poland or multiple for that matter doesn’t surprise me. Look at how devout the nation of Poland is as a whole. It’s like a confirmation of their piety.
For Mango Bango, there is a scripture in one of the letters of Paul or another Apostle. I didn't note it down, so I can't find it right now. Paul or another Apostle said to lay hands on people to give them the Holy Spirit. I'm paraphrasing. This is what bishops and priests do when they perform rites. I don't think this is done in any protestant churches.
I'll try to find the scripture again.
As for miracles like this, in a place of doubt, this and other miracles in the Catholic Church have helped me. This is beyond "science", beyond reason, that our limited minds can fathom.
Sam Harris should watch this episode.
I'm afraid Sam Harris doesn't want to know the truth. We should pray for him.
@@AlejandroGarcia-ek3uy I guess you're probably right. He was asked about his opinion on Eucharistic Miracles during the Q & A session of a debate with WL Craig. And his reply was along the lines of "all religions claim to have some miracles". I guess praying for him is a very good idea though. 👍
@@markoh6641 Sam Harris is a very conceited guy. The only remedy is prayer. He doesn't understand the difference of claiming to be a miracle and a scientifically proven miracle.

My lord & my God
Can someone provide me with some independent sources to back of the claims? For example, "1973, the Higher Council of the World Health Organization (WHO) appointed a scientific commission to verify the Italian doctor's conclusions." Any sources people have?
The report was a hoax. The miracle isn’t a hoax. It was tested in 1971 or so.
Father was asked about some extra medical-scientific confirmation of the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano findings concluded by Professor Linoli, but seems like he has no knowledge that in 1973 the UN - WHO Scientific Commission was created to corroborate Professor Linoli's findings which lasted 15 months and had done about 500 test. They have also confirmed his findings.
40:50 The center of the Lanciano Host had retained the appearance of bread. The Host only became Flesh around the edge. The Flesh was enmeshed all the way around with Bread in the center when it was originally examined by the monks at the time. Over time the center Bread degraded but the outer ring of Flesh has remained.
What about the eucharistic miracle in Argentina with Bishop Bergoglio (now Pope Francis). Also it might be advantageous to have an interview with Father Spitzer and Father Chris Alar as well about the topic of eucharistic miracles
Excellent topic. Could you please put links to the studies mentioned in the description?
Once you start researching Eucharistic Miracles you get so deep into a hole you dig to the other side and hit daylight. It absolutely affirmed for me that Jesus is who He said He is and He is still very much alive and very much God. We exist in occupied territory while alive, unless something goes down.

Ancient people didn't know thoughts are contained in the brain. They believed that your feelings came from the heart and contained your soul. That's why the heart is thought to be so important. Let God into your "heart" and such. Knowing this, it makes this heart tissue miracle a bit silly. No thoughts in our hearts.
But there are other connections to actual cardiac tissue to explain it’s meaning in the miracle. Blood rushes thru the heart. It is the center of out circulatory system. Jesus offered his Body and Blood for the forgiveness of sins. Also the phenomenon that this muscle was under stress is very revealing. Jesus suffered both physically and emotionally for our sins. No doubt about that.
Aren’t scientists often kept in the dark as to the source of the tissue they’re being asked to analyze, so as to preserve the integrity of their findings?
It's not Latin; it's a later dialect, related to modern Italian. It's possibly the local language of Lanciano, which is the Abruzzo Adriatic language, or it may be Tuscan, the language of Dante, which eventually evolved into modern Italian.
1:02:05 He did not put it in the description :(
Great episode!
You didn't add the link for the video mentioned by the priest of the floating eucharist.

If the Lanciano relic includes flesh and blood, what do we say to a Lutheran who believes that the relic supports the Lutheran belief that bread and wine consubstantiate?
I suppose the rest would still be Christ, but only part was revealed to the senses
Be Catholic..... Jesus did say to Peter " You are the rock; on this rock I will build my church ( entrusting to carry on all that the son of God came to earth for) until a better dude named Martin Luther comes along who will get it right."
I listened to a talk on Eucharistic Miracles and DNA test showed that there was no Y chromosome.
if it is about the guy who also claimed to have found the ark of the covenant, i’m pretty sure that he is a fraud😂
Anyone got any of those links to the floating Eucharist?
Where does the priest get his views on naturalism from?
Eucharistic miracles should not be celebrated, they are a sign of our disbelief in the Eucharist and I never understood how catholics emphasize it so much. If an eucharistic miracle happened when I was communing, I would pray to God to forgive my disbelief and try my hardest to repent.
I would celebrate Eucharistic miracles as a sign of God's mercy in bringing His Church back to belief
BEST COMMENT
You detest all miracles because your faith is impeccable and so what about St. Thomas and all others without your perfect faith?
That doesn't seem charitable. Fortunately Our Lord is charitable, even to those for whom visible miracles are meaningful.
Doubt is not a sin.

You'll never see a medical miracle that's physically impossible to occur, like a missing limb restored.
Why not? Does gods miracles only fit within naturalistic occurrences? Seems like it
Do you mean that YOU will refuse to acknowledge the evidence of your sight in regard to something you don't want to believe?
Rather pseudoscientific.
Re-watching this one with the recent "miracle" in Mexico. I am very skeptical of this one and am getting a lot of flack for it. 🤷♂
I don't know that I agree Jesus wouldn't have a y chromosome, as to me it'd make sense he'd miraculously have one, being the perfect Man, new Adam and all that. But I suppose we do not know about that at this point in time, not that it's all that important.
Yaaaasss
Music at start?
Besides many others a Eucharistic miracle happened to a member of our True Life in God prayer group in Australia. Her name is Marianne. During a house Mass when she received the communion she couldn’t swallow it as it had turned into something hard in her mouth. She opened her mouth and asked the person next to her what’s in her mouth and it was indeed a bloody chunk of meat. Somebody took a picture of her mouth wide open with the bleeding host.
Marianne had another divine experience. This was many years ago, I don’t remember what year it was. The first day of Lent she received Jesus’ wounds on her hands, forehead and feet, and oil was oozing from the wounds with heavenly fragrance. She also suffered terrible headaches. This lasted until the last day of lent and on Easter Sunday all her wounds were gone completely.
I'm a protestant Christian, I DONT BELIEVE NON OF THIS!
Nah I'm just kidding 😊 I'd really love to experience the eucharistic miracle, I was born a catholic, I'm still a catholic. I've never experienced the Lord in the eucharist.
Could be a conspiracy high up in the Catholic church.

Thomas the doubter didn't want to just take people's word for it either and for it he was the only one of the apostles to touch the resurrected body. That story says to me that if you need proof then God will provide it for you. I've always said that the presence of doubt does not mean the lack of faith. If you have true faith then your doubt will drive you to seek for definitive proof. Once you have the proof then it moves into the realm of fact rather than belief. You don't need to hope that it is true you don't need to believe that it's true you KNOW that it is true. Then the only way to take a contrary position is to deny the facts and Jesus said what would happen when you deny him.
Natures not enough.

1:21:45 Why wouldn’t it be Our Lord’s DNA? It’s not the traumatized heart tissue of a random person that has appeared. Surely it’s Our Lord’s own heart.
Why talk about a Eucharistic miracle that was never declared to be a Eucharistic miracle
Why would Satan or his demons want to bring you closer to God through a Eucharistic miracle
Why would you think Satan wants to be involved with the Eucharist
My point is it's not a deception from Satan or his demons because they would not want to promote Jesus in the Eucharist. And through these miracles they are bringing hope and charitable thoughts to Jesus.
@@markfarrarjr4166 1. You underestimate demons. 2. Demons believe in God too.

Sure they believe in him, but they would never help people to have faith in him, similarly to how no-one can say "christ is lord" except by the holy spirit (1 corinthians 12:3).
@@Miatpi Why would someone trying to move people away from faith deny Christ? (Although to be honest the motivations of the demons for their actions is never explained in the canon Bible. The only thing they ever want is pigs of all things, which Christ allows, because it's a really minor ask.)
Convincing people to refute the Holy Ghost, even if unknowingly, is much easier. Or really any other form of God.
