The Vatican is to begin offering a low cost airline to Catholic pilgrims to transport them to various holy sites, beginning with Lourdes. I hope their pricing policy is more transparent than other low cost airlines. The airline will be called Mistral Air (easypray.com was dropped at the last minute)
Lourdes is a strange holy site. Every Catholic has heard of the miraculous healing that can be found there, but the statistics are not that good. There have been around 200million visitors to Lourdes since 1860 and 68 recognised miracles. That's about a 1 in 3million chance of having your prayers heard and a miracle performed. It's not great odds when you consider that medical science produces similar numbers of cures which cannot be explained. What do the millions who go there seeking healing and don't find it feel?
