Throughout Pope Francis’ trip through to Philadelphia in September, one of the children brought to the popemobile was Gianna Masciantonio, a 1-year-old with an unusual brain tumor. Recently, her parents said that the lump has actually diminished significantly, right after being kissed by Pope Francis.
Joe Masciantonio claimed his daughter’s tumor was basically gone after several rounds of surgical procedure as well as radiation treatment. One family members friend called the lady’s meet with the pontiff a ‘Miracle on Market Street.’ Gianna’s brain tumor was believed to be unusable, and also doctors had offered her only months to live. She contracted a tumor just two weeks after being born, and after hearing the Pope was visiting Philadelphia, Gianna’s doctor suggested them do go see him.

The power of faith, be it in religion or in science, knows no bounds. This much is clear from the infinite power we have seen a rise from both forces. The scientific community must have something to say of instances like this, and the world would be happy to hear it. To all science enthusiasts out there, what stance do you take? To those who are religious, and those who are both, what are your thoughts? Tell us in the comments below!
