Quotable Quote 24 and Supernatural Smoke

The Open Book posted about the chocolate which looked a statue of Our Lady, prompting one commenter to note that while Protestants go crazy over end time prophecies, with Catholics its apparitions and images of Mary.

In other news, the previously mentioned church in Melbourne which was subject to fire, now has four 'mysterious' crosses on the wall behind the altar. While CFA fire officer Ken Evans said "For the smoke to form in definite shapes is very unusual. It's supernatural or something", Ms Lynne Kelly author of The Skeptics Guide to the Paranormal prefers "a more rational explanation" and to "know a lot more" before claiming the miraculous.

Perhaps a more credible case for divine intervention is the fire which destroyed a historic Anglican church hall that was used for the Hollywood adaptation of Steven King's Salem's Lot, a film which the rector described as 'eminently forgettable'. Fire fighters did however manage to save the adjacent bluestone church and a nearby house.
