Yes,
modern medical practices and procedures prayers save lives and
bring about miracles.
COLWICH - "Chase survived in part because hundreds of people prayed to Father Emil Kapaun to intercede on his behalf. It was absolutely a miracle."
People in Colwich like to touch Chase Kear's arm or his shoulder with their fingers. Or they hug him. "Miracle Man," they say. "Let me touch the miracle." With anybody else in Colwich, this would be just talk. But it's not just talk to the Vatican.
Prompted in part by what the Kear family has said publicly, and partly by a preliminary investigation begun by the Catholic Diocese of Wichita, a Vatican investigator named Andrea Ambrosi will arrive from Italy in Wichita on Friday.
He will investigate on behalf of the church in Rome whether 20-year-old Chase Kear's survival qualifies as a miracle; whether he survived a severe head injury last year in part because his family and hundreds of friends successfully prayed thousands of prayers to the soul of Father Emil Kapaun, a U.S. Army chaplain from Pilsen, Kan., who died a hero in the Korean War.
And now the rest of the story:
A young man in Kansas had a traumatic event in his life. Here's a simple outline of what happened.
Chase Kear has a serious accident, fracturing his skull.
↓
Bystanders call for emergency medical help on their phones.
↓
Doctors arrive in a helicopter.
↓
Doctors administer emergency care.
↓
Helicopter arrives at hospital; doctors take him into surgery.
↓
Surgeons remove portion of his skull to protect his brain from swelling.
↓
Kear is treated with antibiotics to prevent infections.
↓
Swelling reduces, doctors restore Kear's skull.
↓
Kear survives, is rehabilited, and seems to be making a full recovery.
Clearly it was the prayers to a long dead Catholic Chaplain which saved Chase. To believe otherwise would be proof you are a godless, atheistic, socialistic Marxist. Or a Muslim. Like Obama.
