…was he a bilocated image of himself talking to the people, while he was actually elsewhere? Being God, he could probably slip away mysteriously, but saints have bilocated (do they kind of zone-out in their real location?). I guess Mary Agreda, of “Mystical City of God (I believe that’s the title)” fame, was hovering over Indians in America, teaching them The Faith, while she was praying or sleeping or something back in Spain, as I heard in a sermon. I think one of the Indians [Massasoit (sp?)], who later checked out the Pilgrims with another famous Indian (Squanto?) in the Pilgrim story, was amongst those who became Catholic after her instruction, thanks to a religious community of priests (likely, Jesuits). It’s on audiosancto.org, with the title that includes “flying nun”. It’s good to hear that.
 
I think, when He slipped away, it meant just that: He got away. I don’t think it means He disappeared like a ghost would, I think it just means He got away as fast and unseen as He could, and given the crowds around Him, it would be an easy thing to do. Of course, I can’t confirm this, but if I could read the Vulgate and see how the words are used to describe Him getting away, than there could be something to be said whether He got away or vanished like a ghost.
