Enjoy, ping!
Bttt.
Too bad we can’t post the whole stores from the Register.
*8Carrel was caught between two worlds. As an atheistic materialist, he didn’t want to be identified with what he regarded as the gullible hoi polloi who believed this stunning cure to be a miracle from heaven. But as an honest man, Carrel simply couldn’t ignore what he saw, as many in the French medical establishment insisted he should do. For many years, Carrel tried to distance himself from both groups and tried to ascribe Marie’s healing to gobbledygook about “psychic forces” and various other lame naturalistic explanations. But at the end of his life, Carrel finally received the sacraments of the Church and died reconciled to God.**
The best advice is to read Carrel’s actual book for oneself- “The Voyage to Lourdes”. It is not a difficult read and very fascinating - I read it while preparing for a Pilgrimage to Lourdes in 2006. I did not need the book to cause me to believe in the Lourdes miracle(s) because I already believed; however - it makes the foundation even more solid when you read the (former) atheist doctor’s testimony.
An excellent read! It can be requested through one’s local library- even though the librarians might have to go out their own system, they can still procure it.
