John Paul in Flames

Two incredible statements:

1. The Vatican news station has reported a visit from John Paul. "The Daily Mail" reports:

Service director Jarek Cielecki, a Polish priest and close friend of John Paul II, travelled to Poland after hearing an onlooker had photographed the image. Father Cielecki said he was convinced the picture showed the former pontiff.
"You can see the image of a person in the flames and I think it is the servant of God, Pope John Paul II," he said.

2. In response, "Shirley" claims,
Each to their own. Don't condemn people's beliefs. If this "vision" is what gives some people comfort, then that is their business.
Superstitious, Christ-less "faith" often begets real faith being pushed into the category of "comfort-myth." The truths of Scripture are not considered real knowledge, but reality-less stories to comfort the weak that are best left to personal opinion and preference.
