Someone is throwing cold water on the theory that the mystery priest in Missouri was an angelic creature.. And that person is a Jesuit priest!
Father James Martin, author and priest, told the HUFFINGTON POST:
““Most likely the priest will be identified, and people will be able to thank him,” he told The Huffington Post in an emailed message Thursday. “If he’s not found, that may mean he wants to remain anonymous. Could it have been an angel? There are similar ‘angelic’ stories in the lives of the saints, when a figure inexplicably appears and cannot be located afterwards. There are angels, of course, but we tend to ascribe to angels anonymous acts that we find incredibly loving — when in fact human beings do incredibly loving things in hidden ways every day.””
The local Catholic diocese is trying to get to the bottom of the situation.. But so far no luck finding anyone who matches the descriptions or being at the scene..
But something even stranger about the whole affair.. The artists’ rendition last night was not done based off of the artist talking to witnesses, he did it based off of media reports. But there are actually very varied reports on what this priest looked like–as a matter of fact, it’s almost as though people had so many descriptions of him there had to be several priests there! Of course in the confusion of an accident, your mind perhaps races faster than you can understand.. But now this: One person is actually saying that the priest looked like a young Walter Matthau!
So this:
VS.
How could the descriptions of this man be so wildly different from people all who say they saw him?
