The cathylicks are at it again – this time in impoverished Mexico. To any rational person a church fire that destroys a depiction of Jesus and saves a similar image of "Mary" is the work of Satan. The Mary worshiping cathylicks seem to think this is some kind of "miracle" from God.
One only has to read to the fifth paragraph to find the real reason God destroyed the false church:
"Thou shalt not Steal" is something every Christian does not need to be reminded of, but cathylicks have been defrauding their adherents for centuries, so it comes as no surprise.
One only has to read to the fifth paragraph to find the real reason God destroyed the false church:
The cause of the fire was ruled accidental after officials found the chapel was illegally taking its electricity from a utility pole.
'God's sign for us:' Fire guts Juárez church, spares religious image

What happened in a little church in Juárez on Wednesday has many pondering the mystery of faith and the power of Mexico's patron saint, the Virgen de Guadalupe.
To some, it was a sign for a city devastated by four years of violence -- a sign of hope the city needs desperately.
While a fire ravaged the modest San Agustín Chapel in Juárez early Wednesday -- destroying with it pews, church items and even a picture of Jesus Christ -- the image of the Virgen survived.
"It was something unusual," said parish priest the Rev. Benjamín Gaytán. "For us, it was like a sign of faith, a comfort for these difficult times that we are enduring right now in Juárez."
The cause of the fire was ruled accidental after officials found the chapel was illegally taking its electricity from a utility pole.
But no one can explain how the Virgen was not touched except for some ashes near her face.
"We have no explanation of that," said Capt. Martin Morales of the Juárez Fire Department. "The image had no protection at all."
The 2-by-3 foot image of the patron saint of Mexico is framed in wood.
The flames destroyed other images, such as that of St. Agustine, said Efrén Matamoros of the Juárez Environmental Services and Civil Defense department.
The fire also destroyed 40 pews, frames and several icons. No one was hurt.
The damages were estimated at $10,000.
The parishioners are ready to rebuild the church, Matamoros said.
"It was something out of the ordinary," said Gaytán. "Very meaningful. It was God's sign for us to feel the closeness or our mother, the Lady of Guadalupe, to soften our sadness and to feel hope."
