Furthermore…

I was reading in Multiply Catholic Friends a presentation about Saint Padre Pio’s body being incorrupt a couple of days ago when the news bucked was full of stories about Michael Jackson’s untimely death, and I thought the story of the incorrupt saint was far more noteworthy than the story of the pop star passing. But of course. millions of people’s heads are full of news and commentary about Michael but relatively few are now or ever have been all agog about St. Pio’s body being preserved from decay, no more than the media millions have ever been agog about any of the many saints’ bodies similarly preserved. What an explosion of headlines, commentary, analysis, science writing and flocking to the site would ensue. Maybe even a little recognition and glory would be given to God.
