Approval of Eucharistic Miracles.

Is anyone familiar with this, if I am in the right area to ask this.

I read that a Eucharistic Host was sent to Rome for scientific study. I’m not posting where this happened because for all I know, it needs to be approved in our Church.

I am a bit curious as to what the process might or could be.

I thank you for any responses in advance.

It’s a good article and is a bit of what I’d expect. It does not I believe mention anything about a scientific study of the host.

From the article:
the bishop will also appoint a team of experts to study the events from every angle, gathering all relevant data. This will include priests, theologians, canon lawyers, medical professionals, molecular biologists and others.
I would presume that “medical professionals” and “molecular biologists” are doing a “scientific study of the Host” because scientific study is what they do.

I would also presume that if they can determine in a short time that the host actually just has red bread mold on it, there is no need to do an extensive study and the inquiry ends.

Also from the article:
Another example of this can be found in the case of a Eucharistic miracle in Sokolka, Poland.
A piece of the altered host was taken and analyzed independently by two experts, Prof. Maria Sobaniec-Lotowska, MD, and Prof. Stanislaw Sulkowski, MD, in order to ensure the credibility of the results. Both are histopathologists at the Medical University of Bialystok. The studies were carried out at the university’s Department of Pathomorphology.
This is describing a “scientific study”.

I’m a bit baffled as to how you can say that the article doesn’t mention scientific studies.

If we are talking about a bleeding host, yes but in the case I know of right now, it is not about having any mold or anything like that. It does not involve blood. But perhaps a “molecular biologist” might help.
Whether studying cell processes and codes in humans, animals, plants, or other living organisms, molecular biologists are needed in a spectrum of career fields. They utilize their knowledge of chemistry, cell physiology, genetics, physics, and other sciences in their career studies.

This may be enough in the current case I know of but it may not be an absolute certainty.
