How can we understand this miracle?

[someguy14]

I read about a miracle in which a Hindu woman was lead to the Catholic Church through her dreams about Mary, who was pointing her to a particular parish which turned out to be Catholic. She did not know anything about Catholicism previously.

We all long for God’s word, wherever it come’s from.

Do you know how this works? Is it that the Orthodox interpret “build my Church on Peter” differently? Or do they accept that, but think the Papacy should be structured differently?

Or what?

I know, I’m answering my own post, but I just found this great article about it all:

This is just speculation on my part, but perhaps Orthodoxy was what her husband sincerely believed in when he was alive, and for God’s purposes He wanted her to have this church built there, especially since that area was mostly Orthodox, and they do have valid sacraments.

Are there many Orthodox in Africa?

There are other perspectives that need to be considered as well:

I was speculating when I wrote that, and presumed that the husband was mostly exposed to Orthodox in his lifetime. Here is some information about Orthodox in Africa:
