Colorado Springs Kid Cured of Diarrhea By a Nun

As if having diarrhea was already the sh**'s, try having it for six months straight. After doctors aren't able to help you, what are you to do? Well if you were a family in Colorado Springs, you would go see a nun. Not only did the nun cure the kid, but now she is on a journey toward sainthood. 

Pope Francis has set the 19th-century German nun on a journey toward sainthood after verifying she was responsible for healing a Colorado Springs boy of severe diarrhea in 1999.

Mother Theresia Bonzel, founded the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration in Olpe,Germany, back in 1863. In 1999 two Colorado Springs nuns prayed to Bonzel on behalf of 4-year-old Luke Burgie, who had been suffering from violent diarrhea for six months. The illness then mysteriously disappeared.

A rigorous investigation carried out by the Vatican and independent medical experts ensued over the next 14 years to verify the Burgie family hadn't intentionally caused the disorder with, say, laxatives. Pope Francis upheld the miracle in the first days of his papacy. Burgie, now 18, isn't talking about it. "He didn't like being singled out as the miracle boy" says his mom.
