Jesus

According to the Catholic Church, there have been many instances in which the Communion bread becomes flesh and blood. Obviously, this doesn’t happen very often, but according to the Catholic Church, it does happen. A priest who was speaking about this today on EWTN stated that every time this flesh and blood is scientifically analyzed, it turns out to be human, kind of, sort of, mostly? It is human flesh and blood, but it shows only one X chromosome.

For those, like me, who may need a refresher course on DNA, women have 2 X chromosomes, and men have 1 X and 1 Y chromosome. All human beings receive an X chromosome from their mother, and either an X or a Y from their father. As far as I know, there is no such thing as a human being who only has 1 X chromosome, and no Y chromosome.

I went looking on the internet for more information about this, and couldn’t really find any, but I did find this video, produced by an archaeologist who asked Israeli scientists to analyze what he believed was the blood of Christ. If I understand correctly, their conclusions were a little different than what the Catholic Church says, but no less amazing. This video runs about 3 minutes.

  1. JaC, there’s a multimedia presentation on Eucharistic miracles/research compiled by. Blessed Carlo Acutis, Check him out, and that might get you to an online version of the presentation. Lots of parishes are offering it now, as part of the national Eucharistic Revival.

  2. Wait, how did this guy get the transsubstantiated blood?
    Someone put up a video elsewhere bout an exorcist-priest, who said he had had some analyzed and “it was the blood of a Middle Eastern man”.
    THIS video, though, seems to be heretical; it’s saying Jesus wasn’t really human cuz He didn’t have the requisite number of chromosomes to sustain life. Wasn’t He supposed to be fully human AND fully Divine? And after all, if the Holy Spirit could impregnate a Virgin, surely it could create another 23 chromosomes. Oh I won’t go on, a Prot doesn’t belong in this discussion.

    1. Hello, Hypatia 🙂 I don’t know for sure, but I get the feeling that the archaeologist in this video is not Catholic. I am assuming that he got his blood sample from the Shroud of Turin, or some historical artifact? He says only that it’s dried blood, which is supposed to be dead, so it didn’t come from communion in a Catholic Church.
