Hmmm always find cases such as stigmatic’s very interesting and most fascinating as well is the stories people concoct to to try and debunk them. Historically speaking the wounds of Christ were portrayed incorrectly to what they actually would have been, does this mean all the stigmatic’s are experiences some sort of collective social/racial memory thing or are they just trying to pull a fast one ?
