You’re doing exactly what this Lincoln meme warns against! Posting links with quotes expecting others to do your homework. If you have compelling evidence, present it here. Otherwise you’re just preaching to the choir whilst giving sceptics nothing substantive to engage with.

The image shows a vintage-style meme with Abraham Lincoln’s portrait and decorative Victorian border. The text reads: “Don’t Believe Everything You Read on the Internet Just Because There Is A Picture with A Quote Next To It. Abraham Lincoln” This is a humorous example of the exact problem it’s warning against… a fake quote attributed to Lincoln (who died in 1865, long before the internet existed) presented with his picture to lend false authority to the message.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Also, your subject matter carries far more scepticism than fake Lincoln quotes. If you want genuine engagement rather than dismissal, be thoughtful in your approach. Eucharistic miracles face inherently more resistance than internet memes, so the argumentative bar needs to be much higher.
