I feel unsettled and perplexed about it to this day, about 10 years later. Brrr.

Oh yes, I've heard of her. She really freaks me out. I lose all rationality and start shrieking "Mammy was right! Mammy was right" It's a fine line for a Catholic Agnostic.Homerjaymc said:I don't know if anyone has heard of her, but there's an Irish stigmatic, Christina Gallagher from Mayo (Achill, I think). She reportedly suffers the usual stigmatic wounds, aswell as having visions, which she regards as prophecies of things to come...

Check out this months FT. They were the wounds Mohamed received in battle.mobeena said:Wounds of Mohammad (PBUH)? What wounds of Mohammad (PBUH)?
Well when he fled from Mecca to Medina (the Hegira?) the city of Mecca didn't say "you were right, Mohamed". Medina had to make war on Mecca. I don't know the name of the battle where Mohamed was wounded, better check with your Imammobeena said:I haven't got it yet - what battle? What wounds? What the hell is this? You follow a religion for 21 years....
