Anne Catherine Emmerich, the consensus-

[Pauliesonne]

What's the general consensus from skeptics?

Was she a liar out for herself or just a whackjob?

 

[Cosmo]

I find myself unwilling to research into who exactly she is unless you can provide a good enough reason for me to.

 

[kmortis]

A german estatic. Apparently on her way to becoming a Saint. **Yawn**

 

[Cosmo]

Oh. **Yawn**

Did you say you were Irish? Catholic?

 

[Zep]

Migraine. Scrofula. High blood pressure. Live in an age of total credulity and lack of science.

All you need to become a Catholic saint (or whatever).

 

[Brown]

Nutcase with a very vivid imagination.

Not a saint. (I should disclose, however, that I have said this about every person canonized by the Catholic Church.)

Her "visions" seem to have been the basis for many scenes in "Passion of the Christ."

 

[Pauliesonne]

Did you say you were Irish? Catholic?

Ulster or Northern Irish or British atheist

 

[ceo_esq]

Live in an age of total credulity and lack of science.

The age of Priestley, Faraday, Ampere, Davy, Volta, Gay-Lussac ...?

 

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

My uncle lives in Limavady, like the rest of my family he isn't an atheist though.

 

[Ryokan]

Ulster or Northern Irish or British atheist

Call yourself what you want, but technically speaking you're not British if you're from the isle of Ireland
