More Fundie miracles!!!
Among the latest "miracles": a fiberglass statue of Jesus, which washed up on a sandbar on the Rio Grande River near Eagle Pass, Texas, and which has now drawn thousands of worshippers (September); an inflated balloon with a rubber smudge in the image of the Virgin Mary, decorating the car lot of Payne Weslaco Motors, Weslaco, Texas (giving at least one worker there "chills") (August); and the spontaneous falling over of the statue of the Virgin Mary at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, which was taken to be a holy signal that the church, which had been scheduled for closing by the Boston Archdiocese, should remain open (October).

2. I think you're confusing Catholics and Fundies...
the incidents you refer to are exclusively catholic....fundies are protestant fundamentalists...

Not very close to the same thing, actually. They coincide with anti-abortion issues, but fiberglass statues of Jesus and Virgin Mary tortillas are particular to catholics only..protestants don't really care about those things.

The fundamentalists most inclined to take over politics (falwells, 700 club, etc.) would actually be laughing at Virgin Mary tortillas..as theyusually hate catholics.

just trying to be helpful. You're trying to highlight a hypocrisy from two different groups, so it doesn't really work.
