However, if angels (pure spirits) can interact with matter, why can't disembodied spirits? In these cases, it seems that God has allowed them to communicate for the edification of the faithful. I am not aware of any such phenomenon that the Church has formally approved. But many miracles are related in the lives of the saints that the Church has not bothered to investigate formally. @ Dan: True enough, souls in Purgatory are bodiless.

After death, our bodies await the final judgement in the grave or whereever. Only our soul goes to Heaven, Hell or Purgatory. How can a soul (spirit) leave all these handprints etc on physical items? I take it the Church has not either approved or disapproved these stories. I hope it is true, and I have made the Heroic Act pledge for the pool souls relief. Thanks. I am a bit confused.

That information was not in what I saw at the Museum. I don’t know what sort of approbation any of the relics have, Mr. Flynn. That information was not in what I saw at the Museum.

Did the local Ordinary or other appropriate authority grant aproval of these matters? If this is the case, a five star rating seems appropriate. Very interesting.
