Although
science forecasts for the near future, great breakthroughs toward
resolving lymphatic diseases, to this day no definitive treatment is
known. Surprising is therefore, the following facts that once drew
worldwide attention.
The
event occurred on the 30th
April
2000, when by mediation of Pope John Paul II, the Vatican canonized
Blessed Faustina, recognizing in this way too, the supernatural cure
of a person with Lymphedema. The
case of the North American lady Maureen Digan, born with Primary
lymphedema (Milroy Disease),
was accepted after the recognition of 5 independent medical
specialists, and several years of intense ecclesiastical research, as
something inexplicable to science, and miraculous for the church.
The
Vatican institutes stringent guidelines for what constitutes a
miracle. A cure must be sudden, complete, lasting, and—most
importantly—inexplicable by contemporary science. The Church
privileges medical testimony, who scrutinize the evidence submitted
conserning facts and dates. Very few alleged miracles make it past
the “Consulta Medica,” as the body is called. In miracle
tribunals, a cure is assumed natural until proven otherwise, a
position arrived at through a lengthy process of elimination, which
is centered on a forensic, even skeptical, approach to assertion,
argument, and interpretation. When the tribunal thinks its work is
complete, its members seal all documents in a ceremony and sends them
to Rome. As to the ultimate cause of Mrs. Maureen Digan,s spontaneous
regression of lymphedema, the judgment was unanimous: her cure was
quick, complete, lasting and inexplicable to science. Her case was
well evidenced, well proven, well documented, and well biopsied that
she suffered an incurable disease.
In the following video we can see Maureen Digan telling her story and Doctor Kenneth Gershengorn speaking about the clinical case:
