impatient, obnoxious, petty, argumentative, and obsessed over meaningless details
They call me white Devil, black Jesus
Heaven closes, Hell freezes
Ego’s trippin’, scripts keep flippin’
Bloods keep bloodin’, Crips keep crippin’
Time keeps slippin’ and I keep fallin’
I can’t see but I hear them callin’, ballers ballin’
Players playin’, haters fightin’, righteous prayin’
The faith that is based on multiplying fish and bread and wine has no use for more modern supernatural events or imposters.
the Archbishop of Tuam, Dr Michael Neary, has issued a statement that makes clear the church’s view of Coleman’s predictions: “It is not healthy, does not give glory to God and certainly is not good witness to the faith to be looking for extraordinary phenomena. The apparition of 1879 was neither sought nor expected by the humble, honest people who were its astonished witnesses . . . Unfortunately, recent events at the Shrine obscure this essential message. They risk misleading God’s people and undermining faith. For this reason such events are to be regretted rather than encouraged.”
Joe Coleman (55), who is based in Ballyfermot, Dublin, told the Irish Times yesterday he believes Our Lady appears to him because, “I’m a channel for love, and I’m a channel for God”. He claims he has “never gone public before” on his ability to see apparitions, which dates back to 1986. “I was in hospital having an operation – I broke my ankle – and I died under anaesthetic. I left my body and I went to heaven, where I saw my father who had passed away, and my son, and Our Lady and Jesus and Archangel Michael.”
Until recently, he described himself as a clairvoyant. He now prefers the term “spiritual healer”, and claims to be able to cure people of various illnesses. “People come to me for all sorts of ailments. They could have cancer, arthritis, MS – all sorts of things. Healing comes out of my hands. I pray over people on the phone. I cure them,” he says.
The modern day 1800-jesus calls for separation of Church and State.
He thinks people are being drawn to Knock, “because Our Lady is telling us to come back to the church. Thousands of people were praying and crying and calling . They just want something to hold onto because the government aren’t giving them anything to hold onto.”
Speaking of hold on, this video gives more spiritual guidance than the “sacrilegious apparitions” in knock:
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day,
If you hold on
Can you hold on
Hold on baby
Won’t you tell me now
Hold on for one more day ‘Cause
It’s gonna go your way
