THIRD MIRACLE ATTRIBUTED TO MADALYN MURRAY O'HAIR PUTS HER ON PATH TO SAINTHOOD, BUT LATE ATHEIST'S FAMILY CRIES "FOUL"

"SHE WOULD RECOIL IF SHE KNEW WHAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS UP TO," SAYS DAUGHTER; ARCHBISHOP WUERL REPLIES, "SHE DOES KNOW"

BEECHVIEW, Pa. - Life Magazine once referred to late atheist-activist Madalyn Murray O'Hair as the most hated woman in America. Indeed, her own son called her an "evil" person. Yet more than ten years after her death under mysterious circumcstances, three miracles have been attributed to her by the Catholic Church, putting her on the possible path toward sainthood. Two women have been cured of cancer and a man was cured of a stroke after touching O'Hair's dress.

"This vessel of hatred and unbelief is being used by a higher power to show the world that any of us can be used to serve His ends," said Washington, D.C. Archbishop Donald Wuerl. "He is making a mockery of her lack of faith."

But O'Hair's daughter Robin is crying foul. "My mother wouldn't like what is going on," she said. "Not one bit. I want the church to keep those sick people away from my mother's clothes. And I hope they all die, too. I hope they all die!"
