Pope JP2 "cures" nun of Parkinson's. How? |

The most likely explanations for this are:
1. It's a pack of lies. Always an attractive hypothesis, but the amount of
publicity that would predictably attach to this case probably rules out a
conspiracy.
2. She was misdiagnosed in the first place. This is probably the most
likely, as Parkinsonism is notoriously resistant to accurate diagnosis. It
is not a single syndrome, but a set of symptoms which may be caused by any
one of a number of factors, including Parkinson's Disease, various other
Parkinsonian syndromes or, according to
http://www.usd.edu/med/neurosciences/parkinsons.cfm "infections, trauma,
strokes, hypoxia, and almost anything else". Spontaneous recovery from some
of these causes is quite possible.
3. A dead guy got prayed to and asked God to suspend the laws of nature for
this nice nun. (I'm leaning away from this one)

That was Option 3. Do try to keep up.

The whole thing stinks anyway. "Find something, anything, that we can call a
miracle!". Sheesh.
