The Miracles of Father Nacho

I once met a strange and funny Priest. Many of the Parishioners didn’t like this guy. He was a bit abrasive. I once wanted to confess, and he asked about ‘what’, so I told him, and he told me it wasn’t important. I didn’t much like that—Hey! If I think it’s a sin, then it’s a sin! I could see how this priest could get on people’s nerves.

But then I had this strange experience with him. Although he was an old guy, he was a new Priest in the Parish and so he got the dirtiest job – the job that New Priests in a Parish always get – he was the Priest that had to go to the Hospitals in the middle of the night to give the Last Rites. This also made him the Priest in charge of the “healing sacraments”. Well, I got the flu. I was sick as a dog, but everyone knows that in late afternoon, no matter how sick you are, you get a little bit of a remission. So I jumped in the car and drove to the Church and looked around and found Father Nacho and asked him to cure me. He looked at me funny like I was joking, but I told him that I knew for a fact that it was his Job to do the healing, so “heal me!” So he said a quick blessing, and I went home. I felt better almost instantly but figured it was the accident of an afternoon remission, which often happens during a fever. But the fever never came back. Everyone else in Town was sick for two weeks, while I whistled a happy tune and had a spring in my step.

The next time I was in the Parish Office everyone was dumping on Father Nacho, with him standing right there. I said “Wait a minute!” and ripped into everybody how, obnoxious or not, Father Nacho was the Real Thing! A few minutes later Father Nacho signaled me to the door and we went outside for a talk. He told me this strange story. That when he first got the job of healing and giving Last Rites he would go to the hospitals, and since they always called him much too late, he would give last rites to the corpses. The startling thing is that they would come back to life. Of course, this would create havoc as the doctors and the nurses would have to get the crash carts and take the ‘corpses’ to intensive care. And every time they would just soon drop back into death. It happened again and again and again. The doctors and nurses were beginning to dread the death of any Catholic – they simply did not stay dead after Father Nacho would show up. Finally the doctors asked Father Nacho if he could give Last Rites without bringing them back to life. He said, “I guess so”. And from then on the dead bodies stayed dead.

So when I had confronted him that one day and asked to be cured, he wondered whether he would be able to cure me, since he had seemed to have renounced the ‘gift’, so to speak. He told me that he was very happy that he still had the “knack”! True story!

Now consider...... why would I ask for evidence? I saw the story unfurl before me. I believed it. I was the guy who was healed, remember?

Those who experience Miracles don't behave like Skeptics, because, DUH, they aren't skeptics anymore. I hope someday you understand.

Aah, the power of cheese.
(Probably a phrase copyrighted by some idiotic company. Someone refresh my memory here.)

 

I believe his actual name was 'Enocio'. I wonder that it isn't considered disrespectful to use the same name for a Priest as for a Cheesy Treat, but this was in the American Southwest and was fairly easygoing.

 

I have nothing more to say than, WOW!, here we go again.

 

When someone has such strong blind convictions such as Leo then we should not be surprised at such transparently humorous apocryphal stories. When the claimant operates in a vacuum absent of logic and evidence then the result is, as we see, incredulous.

We must also remember that such gullible people need to convince others that they have not been misguided or are simply feeble minded, and will go to great lengths to support their claims. This leads to inevitable denial of what is more likely or obvious mundane truths.

The stories that revolve around subjective health matters tend to over exaggerate the severity before the claimed miracles and of course exaggerate in reverse after the event. Although of course the effects are often quite real, to a very limited extent, but that is simply the psychology of the placebo effect again. What becomes a severe pain that is really only mild, after the event becomes a very mild pain, when in reality the pain has not changed. It is only the subjective opinions of the claimant that change.

What would have been nice about this story would have been some documented evidence of brain death and evidence of full revival. But of course proofs are never available for the religious since that would seriously detract from the overwhelming need for faith – the cornerstone of religious bunkum such as this.

 

Leo,

I would like to verify the claim of multiple ressurection. May I have the
full name of father Nacho, the full name and phone number of the hospital
he worked at, and the date range for which ressurection was performed?

If explicit dates, the names of doctors, or any other specifics could be
provided then that would be great.

Thanks.

Leo,

It is not father Nacho who was doing the miracles - it was God doing it through him. If you say that father Nacho was doing it, you are taking the power away from God and glorifying a man. That is wrong, as you can probably tell (I hope).

 

*************
M*W: In Leo's case, the power of suggestion is self-inflicted.

 

*BUMP* Leo?
