How do you feel about "stigmata"?

Question

this is open to anyone, what do you think about reported cases of "stigmata"?

Answer 1

They are completely false... Before people knew that it was impossible to cricify someone through the palm, people used to get stimata on their palms, then as soon as they found out it was actually on the wrist, stigmata started mysteriously appearing on the wrist. It is logically true that at least the first cases were absolute fakes, and the second are extremely suspicious. I wouldn't believe in it unless it happened to me.

Answer 2

Have you researched this topic? One of the famous stigmatics this century who died in 1968 was Padre Pio of Pietrollacena in Italy. He supposedly carried the wounds which were very visible for over fifty years. The Catholic church has now made him a Saint, but not because of the stigmata. There was also St. Francis of Assisi and several others who the Catholic church approved as Saints who carried the same wounds. It is a very debatable subject because some scientists will say it is possible through ones mind to induce such wounds. The strange phenomenon surrounding Padre Pio was that at the moment of death he still had these gaping wounds in his hands and feet and the Dr's who were treating him said you could hold a torch up to the wounds and see right through to the other side. At the moment of death all of these wounds disappeared and it was as though they had never been there. Official photographs are available to see if you are interested, just look up Padre Pio Stigmatic. There have also been cases of non believers who have also had these wounds, now weather they are mystical or not is hard to prove. I keep an open mind and don't like to discredit something until I know all of the facts. It is far too easy just to say it is a load of rubbish. There are so many things in this world we just don't understand or have answers for.

Answer 3

it must be a character flaw yet i don't sense guilt. To me it somewhat is an exceptionally nonconstructive emotion. i understand once I even have finished incorrect and vow to not repeat the action, then I isn't detrimental or hurtful returned. i've got faith 'sparkling' lively maximum for all time. in all probability the actual incontrovertible fact that my mom did not provide me non secular guidance till age sixteen is at fault. I even have observed people who've been conditioned in line with a non secular association sense the main guilt. on an identical time my mom taught me empathy, morality, altruism and that cleanliness is in line with danger even better than Godliness (spiritually and bodily). So it became out stable, i'm a in part socialized human and many times am chuffed and feeling loose is the excellent element there is. i don't prefer to wreck human beings's emotions and that i'd get exhilaration from an identical courtesy from them!
