It is clear from this excerpt that the sisters are not just afraid of others contradicting their account, but in fact afraid of contradicting each other's accounts. "That would spoil things", the Bishop said. Cheers, Santosh *********************************************************************** MOTHER TERESA'S 'MIRACLE' A 34,000-page report is proposing sainthood but examination of just one 'cure' throws up doubts By Luke Harding in Raiganj and Philip Willan in Rome Sunday August 19, 2001 Excerpted from THE OBSERVER "They have been given strict orders not to talk about it," Raiganj's Bishop Alphonsus D'Souza said yesterday. "Obviously what happened is an objective-miracle. But the sisters don't want to give different versions as that would spoil things." The witness statements given by the sisters also reveal several inconsistencies. Mrs Besra, who is about 30, claims she was being given medicine only for pain relief, but the sisters confirm she was also treated for TB. Before the 'miracle', Mrs Besra was taken to no fewer than five doctors - an extraordinary number for a poor resident of a Missionaries of Charity home. ======================================================================== To view GoaNet's archives http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-net ======================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't want so many e-mails?
