I would challenge the statement that we are a country with few Black Catholics.

There are more Black Catholics (3 million) in the United States than there are Episcopalians of any stripe, it's just that they only make up a small percentage of the overall Catholic population, and many raised Catholic don't remain Catholic.

I am delighted that you could give us an eyewitness account!

(above) "I was most astounded that as I knelt directly in front of her body, there was no odor at all of decay or decomposition."

And a nose-witness account! This is what cannot be conveyed in photos. I was reading the story of Lazarus with friends tonight (last chapter in a small-group book we were reading) and I am reminded of that now.
