       Bleeding Communion Wafers, Eucharistic Miracles
       At the end of the 19th Century, French Occultists were dealing
       in bleeding communion hosts.  But the church was defrocking
       priests who trafficked in such.
       Now the church, at least some elements of it, are promoting
       such.  I don't know what to make of it.
       It is of course an extreme form of Catholic Fundamentalism,
       which I do not go along with at all.
       Still curious to me.

       ^^^^  Starts off with Buenos Aries, '92, '94, 96
       Looking for outside reportage on this, this one involved present
       Pope Francis:

       "he saw to his amazement that the host had turned into a bloody
       substance. He informed Bishop Jorge Bergoglio (now Pope
       Francis), who gave instructions that the host be professionally
       photographed. The photos were taken on September 6, 1996. They
       clearly show that the host, which had become a fragment of
       bloodied flesh, had grown significantly in size. For three years
       the host remained in the tabernacle, the whole affair being kept
       a strict secret. Since the host had suffered no visible
       decomposition, in 1999 Archbishop Bergoglio (he had become
       Archbishop by that time) decided to have it scientifically
       analyzed."
       "
       One of these American scientists was Dr. Frederic Zugiba, a well
       known cardiologist, expert in forensic medicine, and chief
       medical examiner of Rockland County, New York from 1969 to 2002.
       He determined that the analyzed substance was real flesh and
       blood containing human DNA. Zugiba testified that “the analyzed
       material is a fragment of the heart muscle found in the wall of
       the left ventricle close to the valves. This muscle is
       responsible for the contraction of the heart. It should be borne
       in mind that the left cardiac ventricle pumps blood to all parts
       of the body."
       "
       The heart muscle is in an inflammatory condition and contains a
       large number of white blood cells. This indicates that the heart
       was alive at the time the sample was taken. It is my contention
       that the heart was alive, since white blood cells die outside a
       living organism. They require a living organism to sustain them.
       Thus, their presence indicates that the heart was alive when the
       sample was taken. What is more, these white blood cells had
       penetrated the tissue, which further indicates that the heart
       had been under severe stress, as if the owner had been beaten
       severely about the chest.”
       "
       So I look for secular news sources:
       some curious books listed:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Zugibe
       "Dr. Zugibe was one of the people investigating the Eucharistic
       miracle of Buenos Aires."

       This stuff is so far out that it becomes more like occultism
       than mere fundamentalism.
       Here another video in English, Priest telling the story.

       Again, they used to be defrocking priests over stuff like this,
       now elements of the church are promoting it.
