THAT SUPERMARKET TABLOID: CLAIMS OF LOURDES PROPHECY AT BEST DUBIOUS

We're constantly asked about an alleged hidden prophecy that St. 
Bernadette
of Lourdes supposedly received and sent to the Pope. It was reported in 
a
supermarket tabloid called the Weekly World News, and supposedly was 
the
fifth prophecy of Lourdes.

The prophecy was interesting in that it said that physicians would one 
day
use their knowledge to create an "abomination" -- a combination human 
and
animal, which cloning doctors have been trying to do and on some scale 
have
accomplished. Moreover, it supposedly foresaw a "final" clash between
Christians and Muslims and a "bomb of great power" dropped on Iran,
prophecies that resonate in the current world situation.

But this is perplexing because in reality, as far as we can tell from
detailed histories, there were never any such Lourdes prophecies. We 
are
highly skeptical, to say the least. St. Bernadette had been given a 
secret
(underscore singular), but had commented that it was something that not 
even
the Pope would be privy to. It was buried with her. One has to ask: Why
would she send it to the Vatican if she had said it was not even 
intended
for the Pope? Moreover, the Weekly World News is considered a step 
below The
National Enquirer or The Star and is often accused of -- well, let's 
put it
this way: one recent headline is about locusts the size of French 
poodles
invading Russia, and another recent headline was, "HOW YOU CAN GET 
ANYTHING
YOU WANT WITH VOODOO!"

We apologize about having to be so forthright, and think we have said
enough...
