I cite an article published in The Washington Post focused on a faith healer in Argentina.
I quote:
A call from God
About eight years ago, in a small Catholic prayer group, Bergonzi, a seamstress with five children and a granddaughter, realized she had a divine gift, she says — an ability to heal people through the Holy Spirit.
“I’m a normal person, just like you all, going through a call from God,” she said in an interview.
She began drawing followers, people who would come to her prayer group every Tuesday. As more and more people shared their testimonies, she began moving into bigger and bigger venues for her weekly ceremonies
This article is worth reading. The faith healer has received the approval of the Catholic Church to reach out to those in need of practical assistance.
I quote:
A priest keeps watchful vigil over her gatherings, which are preceded by a Mass and Eucharistic adoration. This fall, the archbishop of Rosario released a remarkable statement endorsing her, describing her as a “phenomenon occurring within the Catholic Church.”
