Weeping home hailed a Christmas miracle (http://www.metro.co.uk/news/world/807048-weeping-home-hailed-a-christmas-miracle)

The parents of a teenager killed in a car crash want him to be made a saint after the walls of his bedroom started ‘weeping’.

Devout Christians George and Lina Tannous noticed the cascading oil in October 2006 – a month after 17-year-old Mike died.

Since then their bungalow in the suburbs of Sydney has become a shrine attracting up to 100 visitors a day.

The family claims the fluid, which is a mixture of water, gold and uranium, is responsible for six miracles and has cured a cancer sufferer.

Mr Tannous says a photo of his son started ‘crying’ just a few days ago. ‘At this time of year, it is a Christmas miracle,’ the 50-year-old said.

‘My son’s spirit is in this house.’ The family plans to send some oil to the Pope in the hope he will canonize Mike.

It's a very sad thing that happened to their son, and I understand why they want this to be so as being Catholic they assent to the teaching that if the Church declares someone a Saint then they are in heaven, but things aren't that simple.

The Church wont up and canonize the lad after hearing about him in a tabloid. Rest assured, secular authorities will be all over this long before the Church!

The Papist.
